Household Consumption Expenditure Survey

The NSO's Household Consumption Expenditure Survey (HCES) for 2023-24 provides updated estimates of Average Monthly Per Capita Consumption Expenditure (MPCE) for rural and urban sectors.

The report details MPCE at both nominal and real prices, showing trends and the persistent urban-rural consumption gap, with 2011-12 as the base year for real price calculations.
