The commodities are classified into three major groups with different weightages reflecting their relative importance in wholesale trade. As per the current series (Base Year 2011-12), the weightages are approximately: Manufactured Products (64.23%), Primary Articles (22.62%), and Fuel &#038; Power (13.15%). While the exact percentages may vary slightly with base year revisions, the descending order of weightage consistently remains Manufacturing > Primary > Fuel &#038; Power.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"pyq-additional-information\">\nWPI measures the average change in the prices of commodities at the wholesale level. It is primarily used as a macroeconomic indicator for monitoring inflation, formulating trade and fiscal policies, and in business decisions like price negotiation and escalation clauses. The base year for WPI is revised periodically to reflect changes in the structure of the economy.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consider the following items of wholesale price index : 1.
