    Solution

    The government is likely to change the base year for calculating the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) and the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) to 2011-12. Currently, IIP and WPI take 2004-05 as base year, while the GDP and Consumer Price Index data are calculated using the base year of 2011-12. Using the same base year of 2011-12 for all macroeconomic data indicators will ensure that accuracy is maintained in the mapping of economic activity.
