Response Rate- Real time price data are collected from selected 1407 urban Markets (including
online markets) and 1465 villages covering all States/UTs through personal visits by field staff of
Field Operations Division of NSO, MoSPI on a weekly roster. During July 2026, the response rate was 100% in both rural and urban markets.
CPI for August 2026 will be released on 14th September, 2026 (Monday) or the next working day in case of 14th being a holiday.
State and Item wise indices for July 2026 may be downloaded from eSankhyiki portal of MoSPI- https://esankhyiki.mospi.gov.in/
State-level item indices available on the portal should be interpreted and used with caution, as the indices for some items may have been compiled using thin samples of price quotations.
Indices at all levels and inflation rates are compiled using the actual index values without rounding off. However, the indices published are rounded off to two decimal places. Therefore, higher-level indices, if calculated from the published figures may observe minute differences.
The reference period for price reporting for petrol, diesel and LPG prices are 15th of the corresponding month.
