Methodology and sources

• CPI: MOSPI’s consumer price index API, base 2024. The headline is the Combined (rural and urban) all-India figure. Rural and Urban are shown separately.
• WPI: DPIIT’s monthly wholesale price index workbook, base 2022-23. DPIIT publishes the index. The year-on-year rate is computed here as this month’s index over the same month a year earlier, and is never chained across a base change.
• IIP: MOSPI’s index of industrial production API, base 2022-23. The growth rate is taken as MOSPI published it.
• Interest rates, yields and exchange rates: the published rates block on rbi.org.in. Exchange rates are the FBIL reference rates. Policy rates and reserve ratios carry no date, because they stay in force until the Monetary Policy Committee changes them.
• Forex reserves: RBI’s weekly statistics, dated to the Friday the reading refers to.
• Monthly indicators: RBI (money, credit, lending and deposit rates, services exports), the Office of the Economic Adviser (core sector), PPAC (fuel consumption) and VAHAN (vehicle registrations).
• FinBizNet checks every figure against its source each night and does not adjust it. When a source revises a figure, the revision replaces it on the next check.
