The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) is MoSPI's monthly volume measure of what India's factories, mines, power utilities and water services turn out, on a 2022-23 base. Its September 2026 quick estimate, released on 28 October, put output 6.7 percent above a year earlier, while the sister Index of Core Industries grew 7.9 percent in the same month on a provisional count.
