Macro

2026-09-28

Description

The Industrial Production Index (IPI) in India is compiled and released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MOSPI). The IPI serves as a crucial indicator for monitoring the performance of the industrial sector, encompassing manufacturing, mining, and electricity, and its contribution to overall economic activity. A rising IPI signifies industrial growth, while a decline indicates a slowdown. Typically, an IPI growth rate exceeding 5% is considered healthy, whereas a negative growth rate suggests a contraction.

The data is updated monthly and is usually released around six weeks after the reference month.

Although external searches show a slight discrepancy between some institutional forecasts and authoritative data, the dual engines of manufacturing and electricity have steadily boosted overall performance. However, attention must be paid to the potential risk of end-consumer demand not fully catching up.
