It shows the slower, broader pressure on prices that interest rates can influence. When headline inflation jumps but this stays flat, the cause is food and the RBI usually looks through it; when this rises too, price pressure has spread.
Not MoSPI's number, and not the RBI's usual core, which also leaves out fuel; the 2024 basket folds household fuel into housing, so fuel cannot be removed yet (the 2012-base history shows both). Only nine months exist on the 2024 base. The history has holes: no housing index was published from December 2018 to September 2019, so core is missing then and in the same months of 2020, and no CPI exists for April and May 2020.
The eleven other divisions of the CPI, weighted by MoSPI's 2024-base weights, this month against the same month a year earlier. We compute it; MoSPI does not publish it.
