In fiscal year 2023, the wholesale price index for newspapers peaked at over 155, a tremendous leap from the previous year. This was also an increase from the base index recorded in 2012 by nearly 55 percent. The cost of newspapers in India, including production, spiked in 2022 as an aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic as well as the war in Ukraine, the latter having affected the import of newsprint into the south Asian country from Russia.
