India’s wholesale inflation rose to 9.92% in August, staying close to double digits for the third consecutive month as fuel and power inflation accelerated sharply. Economist Kanishk Agarwal explains why the persistence of high inflation may be more worrying than the headline number itself. He breaks down the impact of rising crude and energy costs, the potential pass-through to manufacturing and consumer prices, and why he expects wholesale inflation to remain elevated over the coming months. Could WPI inflation cross 10%? Will consumers face another round of price increases? And what can the RBI and the government do to contain the pressure? Watch the full conversation for Kanishk Agarwal’s outlook on inflation, interest rates, fuel taxes, the rupee and India’s economy. #Inflation #WPI #IndianEconomy #RBI #FuelPrices #CrudeOil #India #Economy #KanishkAgarwal #NDTVProfit For more videos subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@NDTVProfitIndia Visit NDTV Profit for more
