The verified observation
| City | Annual index change | Compared with the 50-city composite |
|---|---|---|
| Kolkata | +6.9% | -0.1 percentage points |
The 50-city composite annual change was +7.0%. All comparisons above use the same reporting period and annual-change definition.
What the figure means
Kolkata’s 6.9% annual increase is 0.1 percentage point below the 50-city composite annual change of 7.0%. The small difference is a percentage-point comparison, not a claim that the two indices have the same numerical level.
Kolkata’s result falls between Ahmedabad’s 7.9% and Mumbai’s 6.2% observations in the reviewed selection. The comparison retains the same quarter and annual-change definition for each city.
A result close to the broader composite does not make a particular Kolkata locality representative of India. The city index and the multi-city composite have different coverage; neither supplies neighbourhood-level prices, commercial property values or rental yields.
