  • CPI measures only changes in prices of a few selected consumer goods at a retail price. 
  • Different CPIs are published by the government. 
  • Whereas FPI (Food Price Index) is used to estimate rise in prices of food items called food inflation. 
  • The FPI consists wholesale price of food materials such as rice, wheat, pulses, vegetables, sugar, milk, eggs, meat, fish, and manufactured food materials such as edible oils.
