The factory output growth measured in terms of the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) decelerated to 5.8 per cent in September 2023 from a 14-month high of 10.3 per cent in August 2023, in line with slowdown in manufacturing activity. Industrial production had grown by 3.3 per cent in September 2022. Though on an annual basis, the output of manufacturing and mining sectors showed an improvement. During April-September 2023-24, the IIP growth works out to be 6 per cent, down from 7.1 per cent in the corresponding period a year ago.
