Worked example for Mumbai

Enter INR 50,000 as today's cost, 5.54% as the inflation rate and 10 years. If prices in Mumbai kept rising at that pace, the same basket would cost INR 85,732 in 2036, and INR 50,000 left in cash would buy only what INR 29,161 buys now. The figure of INR 50,000 is just an example amount in Indian rupee; type your own rent, school fee or grocery bill instead.

The average of the ten calendar-year rates from 2016 to 2025 for India works out at 4.7%. Try that figure as well as the latest 5.54% reading: the gap between the two shows how sensitive a long-range plan in Mumbai is to which rate you pick. For a 20-year horizon the difference between 4.7% and 5.54% changes the future cost of INR 50,000 from INR 125,840 to INR 146,998.
