**Impact Analysis**
**Producing Factories and Establishments**
**Impact**
These entities are the primary data sources for the index; their production levels directly influence the national growth percentages reported.
**Action Required**
They must continue providing production data to their respective source agencies to ensure the accuracy of future IIP estimates.
**Source Agencies**
**Impact**
These agencies are responsible for receiving data from factories and passing it to the Ministry for compilation and revision.
**Action Required**
They are required to provide updated data to allow for the final revision of "Quick Estimates" into final indices in subsequent months.
**Policy Makers and Industrial Analysts**
**Impact**
These stakeholders use the IIP to monitor the health of the industrial sector and specific industry groups (at the 2-digit level of NIC-2008).
**Action Required**
Analysts should refer to the provided sectoral and use-based statements for detailed planning and mark April 28, 2026, for the next data release.

QUICK ESTIMATE OF INDEX OF INDUSTRIAL
PRODUCTION AND USE-BASED INDEX FOR
THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY 2026 (BASE 2011-
12=100)
Index of Industrial Production (IIP) recorded a 5.2 % year-on-
year growth in February 2026, supported by 6.0% growth in
Manufacturing sector.
Posted On: 30 MAR 2026 4:00PM by PIB Delhi
The Quick Estimate of Index of Industrial Production (IIP) is released on 28th of every month (or next
working day if 28th is a holiday). The index is compiled with data received from source agencies, which
in turn receive the data from the producing factories/ establishments. These Quick Estimates will undergo
revision in subsequent releases as per the revision policy of IIP.
2. Key Highlights:
i. The IIP growth rate for the month of February 2026 is 5.2 percent which was 4.8 percent (Quick
Estimate) in the month of January 2026.
ii. The growth rates of the three sectors, Mining, Manufacturing and Electricity for the month of
February 2026 are 3.1 percent, 6.0 percent and 2.3 percent respectively.
iii. The Quick Estimates of IIP stands at 159.0 against 151.1 in February 2025. The Indices of
Industrial Production for the Mining, Manufacturing and Electricity sectors for the month of
February 2026 stand at 146.3, 157.3 and 198.4 respectively.
iv. Within the manufacturing sector, 14 out of 23 industry groups at NIC 2 digit-level have recorded a
positive growth in February 2026 over February 2025. The top three positive contributors for the
month of February 2026 are – “Manufacture of basic metals” (13.2%), “Manufacture of motor
vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers” (14.9%) and “Manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c.”
(10.2%).
v. In the industry group “Manufacture of basic metals”, item groups “MS slabs”, “Flat products of
Alloy Steel” and “Pipes and tubes of Steel” have shown significant contribution in growth.
vi. In the industry group “Manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers” item groups “Auto
components/ spares and accessories”, “Commercial Vehicles” and “Rim (Wheel)” have shown
significant contribution in growth.
vii. In the industry group “Manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c.”, item groups “Agricultural
Tractors”, “Stationary and internal combustion piston engines not for motor vehicles”, and

3. Along with the Quick Estimate of IIP for the month of February 2026, the indices for January 2026
have undergone final revision in the light of the updated data received from the source agencies.
4. The Quick Estimates for February 2026 and the final revision for January 2026 have been
compiled at weighted response rates of 88.64 percent and 91.94 percent respectively.
5. Details of Quick Estimates of the Index of Industrial Production for the month of February 2026 at
Sectoral, 2-digit level of National Industrial Classification (NIC-2008) and by Use-based classification
are given at Statements I, II and III respectively. Also, for users to appreciate the changes in the industrial
sector, Statement IV provides month-wise indices for the last 13 months, by industry groups (as per 2-
digit level of NIC-2008) and sectors.
