12.7 percent increase in Index of Eight Core Industries for June, 2022

The combined Index of Eight Core Industries increased by 12.7 per cent (provisional) as compared to the Index of June 2021. The production of Coal, Cement, Electricity, Refinery Products, Fertilizers, Steel, and Natural Gas industries increased in June 2022 over the corresponding period of last year.

ICI measures combined and individual performance of production in selected eight core industries viz. Coal, Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Refinery Products, Fertilizers, Steel, Cement and Electricity. The Eight Core Industries comprise 40.27 percent of the weight of items included in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP). Details of yearly and monthly indices and growth rates are provided at Annex I & II respectively.

Final growth rate of Index of Eight Core Industries for March 2022 is revised to 4.8% from its provisional level 4.3%. The growth rate of ICI during April-June 2022-23 was 13.7% (P) as compared to the corresponding period of last FY.

The summary of the Index of Eight Core Industries is given below:

Note 1: Data for April, 2022, May, 2022 and June, 2022 are provisional. Index numbers of Core Industries are revised /finalized as per updated data from source agencies.

Note 2: Since April, 2014, Electricity generation data from Renewable sources are also included.

Note 3: The industry-wise weights indicated above are individual industry weight derived from IIP and blown up on pro rata basis to a combined weight of ICI equal to 100.

Note 4: Since March 2019, a new steel product called Hot Rolled Pickled and Oiled (HRPO) under the item ‘Cold Rolled (CR) coils’ within the production of finished steel has also been included.

Note 5: Release of the index for July, 2022 will be on Wednesday 31^st August, 2022.
