Headline inflation
It is the figure we get by Wholesale Price index Wholesale price index (WPI), has three components. 1. Primary items (food, milk, eggs etc.) 2. Fuel (kerosene, coal, petrol, diesel, gas,electricity etc) 3. Manufactured items (textiles, plastic, leather, metal products etc)
Core inflation
it is Headline inflation minus food and fuel prices. The food and fuel prices keep changing based on season and external factors. Hence, headline inflation gives a very volatile number. The policymakers (RBI and Fin.Min.), cannot use this number to make future predictions or long-term policies, so they also keep a separate watch on Core-Inflation number.
