The new Consumer Price Index (CPI) of MoSPI with base year 2024 for Kerala, which replaces the base 2012 series. Each row is the index, and the year-on-year inflation rate in per cent where it can be computed, for one month, one sector (rural, urban or combined) and one level of the commodity classification: the general index and the divisions, groups, classes, sub-classes and individual items such as rice, with their classification code. Months run from January 2025 to September 2026. Inflation is published only from January 2026, once a year of the new series exists. Use it to follow the latest prices of foods and services in Kerala.
