Synopsis
A senior government official told ET on the condition of anonymity that the new index with a revised base year and basket is likely to be launched in September.

The government is also attempting to bring down disparities within states and is working to provide individual indices for all states.
Wages of workers under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee, Asha and Anganwadi and mid-day meal schemes are set to benefit from an upward revision with the government readying a revamp of the consumer price index for agricultural and rural workers, CPI-AL and CPI-RL, with 2019 as base year instead of 1986-87 and consumption basket.
