New CPI will not affect monetary policy in the near term

The new consumer price index (CPI) series showed that the inflation rate increased to 2.75 percent in January, up from 1.33 per cent in December (old series).

The food-inflation rate was 2.13 per cent. The composition of the CPI has undergone a significant change, along with the shift in the base year to 2024 from 2012. In a rapidly developing country like India, critical indicators must be regularly fine tuned to reflect the prevailing situation. However, the revision this time was delayed owing to a variety of factors, including the pandemic. Besides the new CPI series, released on Thursday, the National Statistics Office (NSO) will also release a new series on gross domestic product (GDP) later this month. Together, these will present a more accurate picture of the Indian economy and better inform all stakeholders, including policymakers.
