This article deals with the estimation of population mean under simple random sampling using a new form of ratio estimator. The expression for mean square error and bias has been obtained. An efficiency comparison is considered for proposed estimator with the classical ratio, product and exponential ratio estimator. Finally an empirical study is also carried out to judge the performance of proposed estimator.
