What is WPI and CPI? How is it measured? What is the role of a base year?
How is the WPI and CPI calculated?
The WPI and CPI are both calculated by comparing the price of a basket of goods and services in a given year to the price of that same basket of goods in a base year. The percentage change in prices from the base year to the current year is then used to calculate the WPI and CPI.
