India's wholesale price index (WPI) rose an annual 9.22 percent in July, government data showed on Tuesday.
The figure was almost in line with the median forecast for a 9.20 percent rise in a Reuters poll and was lower than the annual rise of 9.44 percent in June.
The WPI is more closely watched than the consumer price index ( CPI) in India as it covers a higher number of products.
India's central bank has raised rates 11 times since March 2010 to combat high inflation and is expected to tighten them further, despite the global economic uncertainty.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is scheduled to meet on Sept. 16 for its next policy review.
