#ias #coaching #in #chandigarh


  • RESIDEX is India’s first official Housing Price Index (HPI) that captures the price changes of residential housing.
  • It was launched by National Housing Bank in 2007 covering 26 cities.
  • It helps buyers and sellers to check and compare prices before entering a transaction.
  • They can also analyse the price trends across different cities both at composite level and product category level.
  • Components of RESIDEX include HPI @ market price and HPI @ Assessment Prices.
  • Recently, RESIDEX was revamped and the new RESIDEX has been expanded to 50 cities which includes smart cities and state capitals.
  • Base year for the new RESIDEX has been moved from 2007 to 2012-13.
