In 2010, 100 rupees was a small everyday amount as India entered a renewed bout of high inflation, with consumer prices running near or above 10% on food and fuel pressure into 2013. Even over a shorter span, that pace lifts the figure needed to match its purchasing power today. The adjustment measures price change, not earnings.
