In 2000, 100,000 rupees was a fortune by the standards of the era, a sum of real consequence in the post-liberalisation years when inflation sat in low single digits under a market-determined rupee. Two decades of compounding still mean a considerably larger figure in today's rupees would be needed to match it. This measures consumer-price change, not a return.
Figures are in Indian rupees and use international thousands and millions grouping, not lakh and crore. This measures consumer-price inflation, not exchange rates or investment returns.
