The Centre has discontinued with immediate effect the weekly release of wholesale price index (WPI) for the commodities/items under the groups ‘primary articles’ and ‘fuel and power’.
This follows the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) decision to this effect at its meeting on January 24 this year. WPI will henceforth be released on a monthly basis only, an official release said.
The monthly WPI for January 2012 will be released on February 14. The last weekly WPI for the week ended January 14 was released on January 27.
