A survey of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) has said that the growth momentum of India’s manufacturing sector continues with 83 per cent of manufacturers reporting either higher or stable production levels, making this the second-highest index recorded in recent years. The survey, which assessed manufacturing performance for Q3 FY 2024-25 (October-December 2024), indicates sustained production levels, stable investment plans, and promising export growth. This is a significant improvement from 73 per cent in Q3 FY24, signalling continued momentum in industrial activity.
The investment outlook also remains positive, with 42 per cent of respondents planning to expand their manufacturing capacities in the next six months, a figure consistent with the previous quarter’s assessment. Manufacturers are witnessing strong domestic demand, with 83 per cent expecting an increase in order volumes compared to the previous quarter. However, some concerns remain about a potential slowdown in demand in the near future.
The survey covered eight major manufacturing sectors, including automotive, capital goods, electronics, chemicals, metals, and textiles, representing a combined annual turnover of Rs 4.7 lakh crore. The overall capacity utilization in the sector remains steady at 75 per cent, indicating stable economic activity.
