Abstract: A number of attempts have so far been made to construct state-specific consumer price indices relative to the entire country. However, none of these has been able to exhaust the entire consumption basket. Nor do the constructed indices relate to various fractile income/expenditure groups of the urban population. The present study attempts to overcome these shortcomings using two alternative price data sets-one consisting of prices based on market enquiries and the other consisting mainly of the NSS derived prices. The study covers seventeen states/union territories for four years, 1961-62, 1970-71, 1973-74 and 1983.
