The combined Index of Eight Core Industries (ICI) increased by 12.1per cent (provisional) in October 2023 as compared to the Index of October 2022. The production of all eight core industries (namely; Cement, Coal, Crude Oil, Electricity, Fertilizers, Natural Gas, Refinery Products and Steel)recorded positive growth in October 2023 over the corresponding month of last year. Details of annual and monthly indices and growth rates are provided at Annex I & II respectively.
