India's wholesale fuel and power prices rose 27.41% year-on-year in June 2026, easing from a 30.33% increase in the previous month, based on the new 2022–23 base year that replaces the 2011–12 series. The moderation largely reflected easing concerns over global energy costs following a fragile U.S.-Iran agreement that reduced fears of supply disruptions. Inflation for crude petroleum and natural gas slowed sharply (34.75% vs 61.51% in May). Also, mineral oil prices rose at a softer pace (46.48% vs 49.82%). Meanwhile, electricity prices remained in deflation, though the decline moderated (-0.76% vs -1.85%). Similarly, coal and lignite prices continued to fall, but at a slower rate (-1.57% vs -2.26%). source: Office of the Economic Advisor, India
