INDEX OF EIGHT CORE INDUSTRIES (BASE: 2011-12=100) FOR OCTOBER, 2024

Posted On: 29 NOV 2024 5:00PM by PIB Delhi

The combined Index of Eight Core Industries (ICI) increased by 3.1per cent (provisional) in October, 2024 as compared to the Index in October, 2023.The production of Coal, Refinery Products, Steel, Cement, Electricity and Fertilizers recorded positive growth in October 2024. The details of annual indices, monthly indices and growth rates are provided at Annex I andAnnex II.

The ICI measures the combined and individual performance of production of 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).

The final growth rate of Index of Eight Core Industries for July 2024 stands at 6.3 per cent. The cumulative growth rate of ICI during April to October, 2024-25is4.1 percent (provisional) as compared to the corresponding period of last year.

The summary of the Index of Eight Core Industries is given below:

Coal - Coal production (weight: 10.33 per cent) increased by 7.8 per cent in October, 2024 over October, 2023. Its cumulative index increased by 6.2 per cent during April to October, 2024-25 over corresponding period of the previous year.

Crude Oil - Crude Oil production (weight: 8.98 per cent) declined by 4.8 per cent in October, 2024 over October, 2023. Its cumulative index declined by 2.5 per cent during April to October, 2024-25 over corresponding period of the previous year.

Natural Gas - Natural Gas production (weight: 6.88 per cent) declined by 1.2 per cent in October, 2024 over October, 2023. Its cumulative index increased by 1.5per cent during April to October, 2024-25 over corresponding period of the previous year.

Petroleum Refinery Products - Petroleum Refinery production (weight: 28.04 per cent) increased by 5.2 per cent in October, 2024 over October, 2023. Its cumulative index increased by 2.7 per cent during April to October, 2024-25 over corresponding period of the previous year.

Fertilizers - Fertilizer production (weight: 2.63 per cent) increased by 0.4 per cent in October, 2024 over October, 2023. Its cumulative index increased by 1.5 per cent during April to October, 2024-25 over corresponding period of the previous year.

Steel - Steel production (weight: 17.92 per cent) increased by 4.2 per cent in October, 2024 over October, 2023. Its cumulative index increased by 5.9 per cent during April to October, 2024-25 over corresponding period of the previous year.

Note 1: Data for August, 2024, September, 2024 and October, 2024 are provisional. Index numbers of Core Industries are revised/finalized as per updated data from source agencies.

Note 2: Since April 2014, Electricity generation data from Renewable sources are also included.

Note 3: The industry-wise weights indicated above are individual industry weights derived from IIP and blown up on pro rata basis to a combined weight of ICI equal to 100.

Note 4: Since March 2019, a new steel product called Hot Rolled Pickled and Oiled (HRPO) under the item ‘Cold Rolled (CR) coils’ within the production of finished steel has also been included.

Note 5: Release of the index for November, 2024 will be on Friday 31st December, 2024.
