The base year of an index is selected based on a period that provides a stable and representative benchmark for comparison. It typically reflects a time of economic stability or a significant turning point in economic conditions. The choice also considers data availability and relevance to current economic conditions, ensuring that the index accurately reflects changes over time. Ultimately, the base year serves as a reference point for measuring growth or decline in the index.
BSE-500 index is a cap-weighted index that represents nearly 85% of the total market capitalisation on the Bombay Stock Exchange. This index represents all 20 major industries of the economy. 1998-99 is chosen as the base year, and within this, the date February 1, 1999 is selected as the base date for its proximity to the current period. The base value was fixed at 1000 points.

A price index in years beyond the base year measures the relative change in prices of a basket of goods and services compared to the base year. It reflects inflation or deflation trends over time, allowing economists and policymakers to assess the purchasing power of money. For example, a price index of 120 in a given year indicates that prices have increased by 20% since the base year. This index is crucial for adjusting wages, pensions, and economic policies to maintain economic stability.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) compares the prices of a selected group of items, known as a "basket of goods," over time, typically measuring changes annually against a base year. It reflects the average change in prices consumers pay for these goods and services, helping to assess inflation and cost of living adjustments. By tracking this index, economists and policymakers can gauge economic trends and make informed decisions.
First take a base year. It has to be a normal year when no natural calamity took place and the value decided to all the goods is 100. Changes in the prices are measured as a percentage of the base year prices and then index numbers have to be calculated according to the changes. The answer to the current year is measured with the base year. The increase in the answer of the current year is the inflation rate.
