India’s Index Of Industrial Production Grows 11.5 Per Cent In July

admin Economic Trends

By BW CFO World Online Bureau

In July, India recorded a growth of 11.5 per cent in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP)

The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) grew 11.5 per cent in July, driven by a contracted base. However, the index substantially bridged the gap with the pre-pandemic level and remained only marginally lower than the July 2019 mark, suggesting a graded pick-up in industrial activities with the easing of curbs in key states as the second wave waned.

Barring consumer durables, all other use-based categories rebounded to or above the pre-Covid levels. Capital goods, a proxy for investment, rose 29.5 per cent from a year before in July and returned to the pre-pandemic level, so did consumer non-durables (even though the latter dropped 1.5 per cent, year on year, due to restocking after the first wave). However, consumer non-durables still trailed the pre-pandemic level by 8.3 per cent despite the fact that it went up by 20.2 per cent from a year before, aided by the base effect.

Mining, Manufacturing and Electricity recorded growth of 19.5 per cent, 10.5 per cent and 11.1 per cent, respectively, albeit driven by favourable base effect. However, while mining rose 4.4 per cent from the pre-pandemic level, both manufacturing and electricity dropped by 2.1 per cent and 8.3 per cent, respectively. Aditi Nayar, chief economist at ICRA, said the manufacturing index in July 2021 (130.9) was nearly as high as the level in October 2020 (132.0) during last year’s festive season, “which offers a glimpse into the strength of the revival after the second wave”. “With an expected uptick in mining, electricity and infrastructure/construction goods, amidst a weaker performance of the auto sector, we project the IIP growth to improve to 13-15 per cent in August,” she forecast.

Madan Sabnavis, chief economist at CARE Ratings, expected a higher growth rate in August, too. But from September onwards the base effect will get diluted sharply. “A critical part would be the expected revival in demand especially for consumer goods which will make firms build up stocks from August onwards,” Sabnavis said.
