Industrial production falls 10.4% in July

12 Sep 2020 Evaluate

Industrial production, measured on the basis of Index of Industrial Production (IIP), declining 10.4% in July 2020, mainly due to lower output of manufacturing, mining and power generation sectors. The data released by the National Statistical Office (NSO) under Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation showed that for the month of July 2020, the Quick Estimates of IIP with base 2011-12 stood  at 118.1. Earlier, it was 108.9 in June, 89.5 in May and 54 in April.

The Indices of Industrial Production for the Mining, Manufacturing and Electricity sectors for the month of July 2020 stand at 87.2, 118.8 and 166.3 respectively. The Quick Estimates will undergo revision in subsequent releases as per the revision policy of IIP. As per Use-based classification, the indices stand at 114.1 for Primary Goods, 70.9 for Capital Goods, 122.9 for Intermediate Goods and 125.2 for Infrastructure/ Construction Goods for the month of July 2020. Further, the indices for Consumer durables and Consumer non-durables stand at 99.5 and 156.4 respectively for the month of July 2020.

Explaining the reasons behind the fall in the IIP, the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation said a large number of industrial units were not operating from the end of March due to the lockdown imposed to contain the spread of COVID-19. This had an impact on the items being produced by the establishments during the period of lockdown. It further said industrial activity is resuming with the lifting of restrictions. The ministry added that it may not be appropriate to compare the IIP in the post pandemic months with the IIP for months preceding the COVID 19 pandemic.
