Source: MoSPI / National Statistics Office — Index of Industrial Production, via the eSankhyiki data platform and MoSPI's monthly IIP press releases (latest: August 2026 Quick Estimate, July 2026 final). Two official series, switchable in-tool: the new
2022–23 base (from April 2023, current; the default view) and the retired
2011–12 base (All-India, monthly from April 2012 to March 2026, its final month; March 2026 is that series' Quick Estimate, the last it published). Series: General; sectors (Mining, Manufacturing, Electricity & Gas, and — on the 2022–23 base — Water Supply); and six use-based classes.
Reading the numbers. "Growth" here is the
year-on-year change in the output index — how much more (or less) India produced than in the same month a year earlier. It is volume of production, not price. Manufacturing dominates the General index (76.1% weight on the 2022–23 base; 77.6% on 2011–12), so the two move closely; the sectoral and use-based cuts show what is driving it. The
eight core industries (a separate Pulse tool) are about 40% of the IIP and lead it by a few weeks. The index is
not seasonally adjusted — March is a year-end peak — so read growth year-on-year. The
April 2020 cliff is the COVID lockdown: capital goods fell to an index of 7 and consumer durables to 5.5, from about 100.
The latest month is a Quick Estimate and is revised to final a month later; all earlier months are final.
Base year: MoSPI retired the 2011–12 base at March 2026 and moved to a new
2022–23 base from April 2026. Both are offered here via the Base-year switch; index
levels are not comparable across bases (March 2026 is 173.2 on the 2011–12 base and 129.7 on the 2022–23 base), and because the weights differ,
growth for an overlapping month can differ modestly — e.g. March 2026 is +4.1% on the 2011–12 base and +3.0% on the 2022–23 base. Both are official. Source:
