This affects 234 out of the 463 item groups in the IIP basket, representing 36.02 per cent of the total index weight. MoSPI has now revised and released the entire IIP 2022-23 series with Output PPI and it supersedes the earlier WPI based IIP 2022–23 series released on June 1, 2026.
The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation released the new series of the All India Index of Industrial Production (IIP) with base year 2022–23 on June 1, 2026, using the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) as the deflator. Subsequently, the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, released the Output PPI series with base year 2022–23 on June 15, 2026. As output PPI is a new and important indicator for capturing producer level prices, it has significant implications for compiling IIP.
