India’s Industrial Production: Maintaining GDP growth and creating new employment opportunities has become a big challenge for the countries facing America’s high tariffs. At a time when the Indian Rupee is continuously weakening against the Dollar and fluctuations are being seen in the stock market, a positive news has emerged from the economic front.
The country’s industrial production increased by 4 percent in September. This growth has been recorded mainly due to the better performance of the manufacturing sector. According to official data from the National Statistical Office (NSO) released on Tuesday, industrial production, measured in terms of the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), grew by 3.2 percent in September 2024.
Performance of manufacturing and other sectors
NSO has revised the provisional estimate of industrial production growth for August 2025 from 4 percent to 4.1 percent. According to the new data, the production of the manufacturing sector increased by 4.8 percent in September, whereas it increased by 4 percent a year ago i.e. in September 2024. However, there was a decline of 0.4 percent in the mining sector, whereas there was a marginal growth of 0.2 percent a year ago.
increase in power generation
Electricity generation recorded an increase of 3.1 percent in September 2025, whereas in the same period last year this increase was only 0.5 percent. The country’s industrial production has increased by 3 percent during the first half (April-September) of the financial year 2025-26, while in the first half of 2024-25 the growth was 4.1 percent.
On the other hand, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal will hold an important meeting with the exporters’ community here on Wednesday.
