INDEX OF EIGHT CORE INDUSTRIES (BASE: 2011-12=100) FOR OCTOBER, 2022
The combined Index of Eight Core Industries increased by 0.1 per cent (provisional) in October 2022 as compared to the Index of October 2021. The production of Fertilizers, Steel, Coal and Electricity generation increased in October 2022 over the corresponding month 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.
2. Final growth rate of Index of Eight Core Industries for July 2022 is revised to 4.8% from its provisional level 4.5%. The cumulative growth rate of ICI during April-October 2022-23 was 8.2% (P) as compared to the corresponding period of last year.
3. The summary of the Index of Eight Core Industries is given below:
