• For calculating the index ratio for a specific date, daily reference WPI values would be linearly interpolated using ‘Ref WPI’ for the first day of the calendar month and the first day of the following calendar month.

• The formula for computing the reference WPI for a particular day is as under:

  

  [Ref WPI_M = Ref WPI for the first day of the calendar month in which Date falls, Ref WPI_M+1 = Ref WPI for the first day of the calendar month following the settlement date, D = Number of days in month (e.g. 31 days in August), and t= settlement date (e.g. August 6)]

• An example of daily reference WPI computed through interpolation is furnished below.
