The terrain is the inflation series. Every hill is a month of year-on-year inflation, the peaks are the peaks, and the only control you have is the throttle.
Release to coast. Space does the same thing as the bar.

How it adds up. Each stretch scores the share of it you drove, times its mode. The index is those scores averaged over the stretches that have reported, weighted by the Weight column, so a first weak run on a new stretch can pull it down.
Your runs are kept in this browser. The published index goes up anonymously and joins the distribution below.
Labour Bureau CPI-IW to December 2013 — a different instrument, covering industrial-worker households — with year-on-year computed from the published index and linked across its earlier bases with factors 4.93 and 4.63. MOSPI CPI Combined (All India, General) from January 2014, rebased 2024=100 in January 2026. April 2020 and May 2020 carry rates computed from MOSPI's published limited-collection indices, which the ministry issued without rates of their own.
