Industrial output and the core industries
Copy link to Industrial output and the core industriesPrelims
The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) measures the monthly output of mining, manufacturing and electricity, and the Index of Core Industries (ICI) measures the basic industries that feed it.
- The National Statistics Office releases the IIP about four weeks after the month, on a 2022-23 base since the April 2026 data.
- The ICI is compiled by the Office of the Economic Adviser in the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade and released on the 20th of the following month.
- Since July 2026 the ICI covers nine industries: coal, crude oil, natural gas, refinery products, fertilisers, steel, cement, electricity and, the ninth, iron ore.
- The IIP's quick estimate rests on incomplete returns, so it is revised in later months.
