New Delhi, December 30, 2025: India’s industrial production rose to a 25-month high of 6.7 per cent in November, according to data released by the National Statistics Office (NSO). The surge reflects strong growth in manufacturing and mining sectors, supported by robust demand and recent policy measures.
The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) registered a 6.7 per cent year-on-year increase, compared to 5 per cent in November 2024. Manufacturing output expanded by 8 per cent, driven by basic metals, pharmaceuticals, and motor vehicles, while mining activity grew by 5.4 per cent. Electricity generation recorded a marginal contraction.
Officials noted that GST rate reductions on consumer goods, effective from September 2025, contributed to higher demand and boosted manufacturing orders. The latest figures mark the strongest industrial growth since November 2023, when output had surged by 11.9 per cent.
Analysts highlighted that while the November data signals resilience in India’s industrial sector, sustaining momentum will depend on continued domestic demand and stability in global trade conditions.
The industrial production figures underscore India’s economic recovery trajectory, with manufacturing and mining emerging as key drivers of growth.
