Mobile phones-> much more expensive

TVs are probably cheaper. You can get 4k ones for 30k

Chips-> 20rs/packet is standard now instead of 10

In computer hardware, high end graphic cards are far more expensive now. laptops are priced in the same range

Automobiles-> Similar range?

Have changed actually. Ambi and alto are no longer common cars in India. Sedans and SUVs are.

-cost of computers and laptops largely remain the same.
in 2022, i think we can still get a decent assembled computer in price range of 25k to 50k same as in early 2010's.

narrow the criteria down to personal experience.
there will be products that we didn't personally buy, that might have increased.

sure, but for this thread as mentioned in the OP, price and price range is the criteria.
a product or a product category, whether the same prices are available in 2022 as in around 2012.

Nothing have stayed flat.. Airline tkts appears same since govt put a cap on fares. It was removed a month back....

Airport commute.. Costs have increased a Lot.. Ola / Uber which used to cost me 100 now quotes at 140 Minimum....with drivers tantrums gone up by 1000 times.

Speaking from experience as i am using uber /ola for last 6-7 years & have avoided a car purchase so far... these tantrums & costs were primary reason i choose to go ahead abd book a car...I am just tired of daily "bhaiya Pls chal rahe ho"

Automobiles have gone up considerably. A car like SX4, Honda city would cost max 9,10 Lakhs , now the cost for same class of vehicles have gone beyond 15 Lakhs. Baleno which max top at 8, now can cost upto 11 Lakhs. I20 even more.

@ezsasa should average 4.5% inflation rate be considered?

Not the right way to look at it but yes I can see your point.
You get much more value out of 30,000 you spend on laptop vs the same price if you had spent 10 years ago.



Also take into account Inflation rate and see this one below.
