Index of Eight Core Industries (Base: 2011-12=100) For June, 2023

Posted On: 31 JUL 2023 5:00PM by PIB Delhi

The combined Index of Eight Core Industries (ICI) increased by 8.2 per cent (provisional) in June 2023 as compared to the Index of June 2022. The production of Steel, Coal, Cement, Refinery Products, Natural Gas, Fertilizers and Electricity increased in June 2023 over the corresponding month of last year. ICI measures 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). Details of annual and monthly indices and growth rates are provided at Annex I & II respectively.

Final growth rate of Index of Eight Core Industries for March 2023 is revised to 4.2 per cent from its provisional level 3.6 per cent. The cumulative growth rate of ICI during the quarter April to June, 2023-24 reported 5.8 per cent (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 9.8 per cent in June, 2023 over June, 2022. Its cumulative index increased by 8.7 per cent during the quarter April to June, 2023-24 over corresponding period of the previous year.

Note 1: Data for April 2023, May 2023 and June 2023 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 weight 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 July, 2023 will be on Thursday 31stAugust, 2023.
