This document discusses the relationship between inflation, interest rates, and their implications on various economic sectors in India. It provides background on types of interest rates set by the central bank and how inflation is calculated. Higher inflation tends to decrease purchasing power while higher interest rates increase it. The document then analyzes how changes in inflation and interest rates have impacted stock prices in several industries like real estate, FMCG, consumer durables, pharmaceuticals, and automobiles over time. Graphs show that rising inflation often corresponds to falling stock prices in sectors while decreases in inflation coincide with price increases. The conclusion discusses how sustained high inflation could eventually lead to higher interest rates and impact demand across the economy.

6. INFLATION
Inflation is defined as a sustained increase in
the price level or a fall in the value of money.
When the level of currency of a country
exceeds the level of production, inflation
occurs. In other word value of money
depreciates with the occurrence of inflation.
7. TYPES OF INFLATION
Cost-Pull Inflation
Causes of cost-pull inflation:
Rising wages
Import price
Commodity cost
Profit push inflation
Declining productivity
Higher tax
Demand-Push Inflation
Causes of demand-push inflation:
Increase in the money supply
Increase in the government spending
Foreign growth or foreign price
increase
Lower interest rate
Rising wages.
8. Calculation of Inflation
1. Consumer Price Index
A consumer price index (CPI) measure changes in the price level of a market basket of consumer goods and
service purchased by household. In India the current rate of CPI is 6.93.
Formula: Cost of basket of goods in old year / Cost of basket of goods in base year *100
Example:
CPI for 2016 is 16/16*100 = 16
CPI for 2016 is 20.50/16*100 = 128
CPI for 2018 is 19.50/16*100 =122
Solution:
Goods Price 2016 Price 2017 Price 2018
Milk 14 15 4.56
Petrol 10 13 12
Ticket 2 2.50 3
9. 2. Wholesale price Method
Whole sale price index (WPI) is designed to measure the changes of price in the primary and whole sale market.
The current rate of WIP is 2.76
Example: The WPI for the year 1970 for a particular commodity say wheat. Assume that the price of a kilogram of
wheat in 1970 is Rs.5.75 and in 1980 is Rs. 6.10.
The WPI of wheat for the year 1980= Price of wheat in 1980 – price of wheat in 1970 / Price of wheat in 1970 *100
= (6.10-5.75 / 5.75)*100
= 6.09
Since WPI for the base year is assumed as 100,WPI for 1980will become 100 + 6.09 = 106.09

20. Conclusion:
If the high inflation sustains, at some stage it will lead to a chain reaction across the
economy, pushing up interest rates and even affecting demand.
