Your basket will differ from the average.
Compare official category indices, with a long-run base comparison and a separate one-year change.
These are selected consumer categories, not a ranking of India’s “top 15” purchases or retail quotations for specific products. An index is not a rupee price. Comparable 30-year item-level prices have not been verified.
