Food inflation in India is calculated using the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which tracks the price changes of a basket of essential food items over time. They compare the current prices of these items to prices from a base year. It's like keeping tabs on your grocery bill every month and seeing how it changes!
I've seen experts calculate this by taking the price of essential food items like rice, wheat, and vegetables over a period and comparing it to the past year's prices. It's like comparing old grocery receipts with new ones!
It's all about the CPI, buddy. They track price changes for food items over time. Simple as that.
