Spike in IIP for October could be Diwali effect: CEA

14 Dec 2015 Evaluate

India’s industrial production grew at five-year high rate of 9.8 percent in October, a significant rebound from 3.84 percent growth recorded in September 2015 and a contraction of 2.7 percent in October last year. However, Chief Economic Advisor (CEA) Arvind Subramanian has cautioned that one has to be careful while interpreting the data as the spike could be on account of Diwali purchases. He said “Good number, hope this continues, but one shouldn't read too much into month to month number”.

The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growth showed huge surge buoyed by demand in consumer products and capital goods during the festive season. While, the IIP for October grew by 9.8 percent, the cumulative IIP growth for April-October 2015-16 over the corresponding period last year stood at 4.8 percent.

Subramanian, who had headed a committee on suggesting GST rate, said the implementation of the GST will clean up the taxation regime and boost growth. He added that the simplification and uniformity in the new indirect tax regime will help in boosting country’s growth further and checking tax evasion and corruption. In principle, he said there should be no rise in prices post implementation of GST.

Meanwhile, India Inc has termed the surge in IIP as a booster for the economy, hoping that the strong growth trend would continue on the back of reforms. Assocham President Sunil Kanoria said that the industrial growth on the back of an impressive double digit expansion in manufacturing should no doubt be considered a morale booster for the economy.
