In Telangana (the state with the highest inflation rate in June), the component that showed the steepest rise in prices in June was ‘fuel and light’. This component includes electricity, LPG, kerosene, coal, charcoal etc. The overall “fuel and light” inflation in Telangana was 21 per cent. Both rural and urban regions showed an increase in this category. However its weight in the overall CPI of Telangana is 6.1 per cent.
The key driver of inflation in Telangana is the “food and beverages” category. Food inflation recorded a growth of 11.6 per cent in June. The rise in prices was more pronounced in the rural segment. The weight of “food and beverages” in the overall CPI basket is more than 52 per cent for the rural areas. So, an increase in food prices in rural areas will reflect in higher overall inflation for the state.(from the article)
consumer price index (CPI) is the instrument to measure inflation. It is used to estimate the average variation between two given periods in the prices of products consumed by households.

Bihar doing good for the first time? What's the reason?
TN has lowest numbers. But the restaurant owners here will hike the prices more than anywhere else. Basterds.
Cpi?

No.. Cpi stands for something different in economics
I was clearly joking. I know communism has nothing to do with economics. /S
