Consumer Price Index Numbers on base 2010=100 for Rural, Urban and Combined for the Month of June, 2011
The Central Statistics Office (CSO), Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation has introduced a new series of Consumer Price Indices (CPI) on base 2010=100 for all-India and States/UTs separately for rural, urban and combined with effect from January, 2011.
Provisional indices for the month of June, 2011 and also final indices for April, 2011 are being released with this note for all-India and for States/UTs. For urban areas, indices based on the house rent schedules canvassed during January 2011 to June 2011 have been compiled and included in the Housing Group indices for June 2011. As the weight (expenditure share) of the item ‘House Rent’ is negligible for the rural areas, rent index is not compiled for rural areas. It may be mentioned that annual inflation rates would be available at the time of release of indices for January, 2012, when the indices for one year are available.
All India indices
All India provisional General (all groups), Group and Sub- Group level CPI numbers of June, 2011 for rural, urban and combined (rural plus urban) are given in Annex I. The General Indices for rural, urban and combined are 109.9 107.3 and 108.8 respectively. Percentage changes in all India provisional indices of June 2011 as compared to provisional of May 2011 indices are given in Annex II.
State/UT indices
State/UT-wise General provisional CPI numbers for rural, urban and combined are at Annex III. State/ UT wise Group level provisional indices are available in the Ministry’s website (www.mospi.gov.in).
