The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation has indicated continuation of a price and inflation data practice for official use. The development is relevant because inflation measurement depends on consistent methodology, coverage, and comparability over time.
The release is brief and does not specify the exact data set, methodology change, or the full extent of the rollout. The exam value therefore lies more in the theme than in a standalone factual announcement.
