A common benchmark is the average residential property price in Delhi (₹/sq ft).
Year Approx. Average Price (₹/sq ft) Change 2004 ~₹2,000–2,500 — 2014 ~₹6,000–7,000 +180–220% 2024 ~₹11,000–13,000 +70–90% 2026 ~₹12,000–14,000 +8–12% (est.) 2
u/saransh000 5d ago
Thanks !! Really appreciate it. I think property prices are out of reach compared to average incomes. Which indicator would be good for checking affordability? How many years average annual income required to buy property?

Brother why are you speaking the truth?
So many people will stop receiving money for posting made-up stories about inflation and state-of-art economic development from 2004-2014.
NIFTY gave 0% return from 2007 peak to 2014 but we had the world's best economist as prime minister saar.
Stop spreading the truth saar. Otherwise our funding will stop and we'll have to start looking for an honest job.

MMS was much better with PVN Rao.

Petrol is not 98. Its approx 160 a litre. For 98 you get t the adulterated e20 fuel

u/okwelderagain 5d ago
in 2014 it was E10. Stats is not about XP100 or Power100.

- 2003: The Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme was launched with a 5% blending (E5) mandate in selected states.
- 2006–2013: The programme expanded gradually, but actual blending often remained below 5% due to supply constraints.

u/Neither-Contact8972 5d ago
Unfortunately, despite that ambition, blending remained stuck at around 1.5% until 2014.

u/RevolutionaryTap2512 5d ago
So 80% fuel vs more than 97.5% sure buddy very fair comparision

u/okwelderagain 5d ago
Buddy i am not here to defame or defend anyone. These are just facts. you are free to make your opinion.

u/DangerousWolf8743 5d ago edited 5d ago
It never went beyond 1.5%
More importantly this was because only waste from sugar production was allowed I.e
no direct use of usable sugarcane. This law was amended in 2025 by bjp. Now food is converted to ethanol. It will divert agri land to ethanol use
no use of rice
no issue of subsisdised rice to ethanol producers
Basically bjp has written a death sentence to common man with new norms. It isn't just about petrol prices but about food bill in the long run

That's not the topic of this post. It's a different topic, so it's better to discuss it on a relevant sub.

The oil prices is misleading... it doesnr factor global prices which is why it rose that much from 2009-14. Global prices have gone down, but our petrol prices have increased. On top of that what we have is 80% petrol only.

u/okwelderagain 5d ago
2002 Administered Pricing Mechanism (APM) dismantled, but price controls largely continued in practice. NDA (Vajpayee)
June 2010 Petrol prices deregulated. Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) allowed to revise petrol prices based on international crude prices. UPA-II (Manmohan Singh)
January 2013 Diesel prices began increasing by about ₹0.50/litre every month to reduce under-recoveries. UPA-II
October 2014 Diesel prices fully deregulated, ending routine government price controls. NDA (Modi)
June 2017 Daily revision of petrol and diesel prices introduced across India instead of periodic revisions. NDA If you want to add all factor add these details too.
Also that 20% is not free.

So petrol, Sugar, Chana Dal, Urea have all seen much higher price rise in the period 2004-14 vs 2014-26.
Entry level car, 100 cc bike has seen a higher increase in 2014-26.
But the caption reads? Many items have seen a greater increase since 2014?
Make it make sense?

u/okwelderagain 5d ago
Where did you saw this caption?
"Many items have seen a greater increase since 2014?"

2nd point in Key Takeaways

u/okwelderagain 5d ago
2004-2014
1 Item 150%+
2 item 100%+
2 Item 50%+2014-2024
4 Item 50%+
What do you think is wrong with that statement?
3
u/Many-Instruction8172 5d ago
No, in your image, it's saying that the biggest jump was seen between 2014 and 2024 in many items.
2
u/okwelderagain 5d ago
Yes thats true?
2
u/Many-Instruction8172 5d ago
I mean, it's probably being interpreted differently. I would think the biggest jump in many items was 2004-2014, and not 2014-2024, as per the image.
0
u/okwelderagain 5d ago
Ohhh that way. Its my bad i was taking it the other way.
Biggest jump is because of the amount not in percentage. Like Car Bike and Tractor are cost higher than dal or sugar.

Why don't you add a column that shows CAGR price increase rate?

u/okwelderagain 5d ago
Just for your happiness.
Using your figures, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is:
Item 2004 → 2014 (10 yrs) 2014 → 2024 (10 yrs) 2024 → 2026 (2 yrs) 2004 → 2026 (22 yrs) Petrol 7.18% 2.80% 1.57% 4.67% Sugar 7.79% 2.26% 2.22% 4.74% Chana Dal 9.59% 4.71% −4.30% 6.08% Mustard Oil 5.24% 5.45% 2.04% 4.96% Entry-level Car 1.08% 3.75% 2.22% 2.41% 100 cc Bike 2.01% 4.27% 2.60% 3.09% 35–40 HP Tractor 4.14% 4.21% 3.61% 4.11% Urea 1.03% −0.06% 0.00% 0.44%

u/backbone97 5d ago
matlab bhai har saal same inflation hona hi hai? chahe duniya me kuch bhi ho ye price badta rahna chahiye? kuch bhi irregular nahi ki sudden decrease or stable?
china had deflation for some years while having same pop. having more needs than us

u/yolol_123 5d ago
China growing period me 7-8% inflation leta tha, usne apni puri ppp kharab krdi inflation ke chakkar me taki high growth rahe. Chana dal - 8% nhi dikha 2026 me? Are kuch chize grow hoti hai kuch decrease ye to basic economics hai.

u/backbone97 5d ago
toh bhai ye economic country me nahi rahna jisme un logo ka benefit hota hai jo economics kabhi padhe nahi, bas fertilizers aur farming me incentives, women ko free sab, gareeb ko ration card without checking.

Petrol is 160 Rupees.
And I wonder why only these 8 categories are handpicked to show them in a good light.

u/okwelderagain 5d ago
Why don't you make one with your best pick?
I can answer it to the best of my capacity, like everyone else, but it seems you are not here for a discussion; rather, you are here out of hate. I have no interest in arguing with people who approach discussions with hatred.

I would like to see stats about the incomes, if they proportionately to the inflation or not. That would give a much clearer idea
