Chart for Historical Index of Industrial Production (IIP)
What is Index of Industrial Production (IIP)?
The All India Index of Industrial Production (IIP) is a composite indicator that measures the short-term changes in the volume of production of a basket of industrial products during a given period with respect to that in a chosen base period.
Index of Industrial Production (IIP) has historically been one of the most well-known and well-used indicator used for comparison of economic performance over time. The IIP measures volume changes in the production of an economy, and therefore provides a measurement that is free of influences of price changes, making it an indicator of choice for many applications.
This indicator is of paramount importance to the Government for policy planning purposes and is also being extensively used by various organizations including Industrial Associations, Research Institutes and Academicians.
Manufacturing still has the greatest multiplier effect, in terms of job creation, of any sector of the economy.
