Appendix A
Following changes have been introduced in the Base Year Revision of the CPI
compiled by the CSO, Ministry of Statistics and
Programme Implementation:
a. The
Base Year has been changed from 2010=100 to 2012=100. (The series on Base
2010=100 and 2012=100 have been hereinafter named as old series and revised
series respectively.)
b. The basket of items and their weighing diagrams have been prepared
using the Modified Mixed Reference Period (MMRP) data of Consumer Expenditure
Survey (CES), 2011-12, of the 68th Round of National Sample Survey
(NSS). This has been done to make it consistent with the international practice
of shorter reference period for most of the food items and longer reference
period for the items of infrequent consumption/purchase. The weighing diagrams
of old series of CPI were based on the Uniform Reference Period (URP) data of CES,
2004-05, of the 61st Round of NSS. With this change in the weighing
diagrams, the gap
between Weight Reference Year and Price Reference Year (Base Year), which was
six years in the old series, has now been reduced to six months only. Due to
change in the consumption pattern from 2004-05 to 2011-12, the weighing
diagrams (share of expenditure to total expenditure) have changed. A comparison
of weighing diagrams of the old and revised series is given in the table below:

revised series of CPI

c. The number of Groups,
which was five in the old series, has now been increased to six. ‘Pan, tobacco
and intoxicants’, which was a Sub-group under the Group ‘Food, beverages and
Tobacco’, has now been made as a separate Group. Accordingly, the Group ‘Food,
beverages and Tobacco’ has been changed to ‘Food and beverages’.
d. Egg, which was part of the Sub-group
‘Egg, fish and meat’ in the old series, has now been made as a separate
Sub-group. Accordingly, the earlier Sub-group has been modified as ‘Meat and
fish’.
e. The elementary/item indices are now
being computed using Geometric Mean (GM) of the Price Relatives of Current
Prices with respect to Base Prices of different markets in consonance
with the international practice. In the old series, Arithmetic Mean (AM) was
used for that purpose. The advantage of using GM is that it moderates the
volatility of the indices as GM is less affected by extreme values.
f. Prices of PDS
items under Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) have also been included for compilation
of indices of PDS items, in addition to Above Poverty Line (APL) and Below
Poverty Line (BPL) prices being taken in the old series.
g. Sample size for collection of house
rent data for compilation of House Rent Index, which was 6,684 rented dwellings
in the old series, has now been doubled to 13,368 rented dwellings in the
revised series.
h. Apart from All-India CPIs (Rural, Urban,
Combined) for Sub-group, Group and General Index (All-Groups), which were
released for the old series, all India Item CPIs (Combined) would also be
available in the public domain for the users. These item level indices would be
put on the web portal of this Ministry (www.mospi.gov.in)
one day after the press release on CPI.
i. The Consumer Food Price Indices (Rural, Urban,
Combined) are being compiled as weighted average of the indices of following
Sub-groups, as practiced earlier in the old series (only the weights have
been revised):

j. It is also necessary to have a
linking factor between the old series and the revised series, in order to
project the old series from January 2015 onwards. Linking factors for Group as
well as General Indices are also being released. These linking factors are the
ratio of the GMs of the respective indices of the old series and revised series
for the year 2014. The linking factors are as follows:

All-India
CPI (Rural, Urban, Combined), of the revised series, for each Sub-group, Group
and General Index (All groups) for the months of January 2014 to December 2014 are available separately on the Ministry's website (www.mospi.gov.in).
