India's Index of Industrial Production (IIP) showed industrial growth quickening to about 8% in August 2026 on a broad-based uptick, according to data released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation.
This was slower than June 2026, when IIP growth had touched 8.8%, the fastest so far this financial year.
The IIP tracks output across mining, manufacturing and electricity, and is a key short-term indicator of economic activity.

How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- The Index of Industrial Production is a short-term indicator of the volume of output in mining, manufacturing and electricity.
- IIP data is released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation.
- A month's growth rate being lower than an earlier month's does not mean growth has turned negative; compare the rates carefully in statement questions.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-III Economy: IIP is a key high-frequency gauge of industrial activity, and broad-based growth of about 8% suggests healthy manufacturing, mining and power output. Its limits (fixed base-year weights, coverage gaps, revisions) mean it should be read with GDP, GVA and PMI data. The way forward lies in sustained manufacturing push, infrastructure and demand support, and regular base-year revision.

- 1 ಮಾತ್ರ
- 2 ಮಾತ್ರ
- 1 ಮತ್ತು 2 ಎರಡೂ
- 1 ಅಥವಾ 2 ಯಾವುದೂ ಅಲ್ಲ
ಉತ್ತರ ನೋಡಿ
ಉತ್ತರ: A — ಸರಿ: 1 ಮಾತ್ರ — ಆಗಸ್ಟ್ 2026ರಲ್ಲಿ IIP ಬೆಳವಣಿಗೆ ಸುಮಾರು ಶೇ. 8ಕ್ಕೆ ತ್ವರಿತಗೊಂಡಿತು; ಆದರೆ 2026ರ ಜೂನ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಶೇ. 8.8ರಷ್ಟಿದ್ದು ಹೆಚ್ಚು ವೇಗವಾಗಿತ್ತು, ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಹೇಳಿಕೆ 2 ತಪ್ಪು. • 2 ಮಾತ್ರ — ತಪ್ಪು: ಹೇಳಿಕೆ 1 ಸರಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. • ಎರಡೂ — ತಪ್ಪು: ಹೇಳಿಕೆ 2 ತಪ್ಪಾಗಿದೆ. • ಯಾವುದೂ ಅಲ್ಲ — ತಪ್ಪು: ಹೇಳಿಕೆ 1 ಸರಿಯಾಗಿದೆ.
