India continued to project strong industrial production in September, 2025, on the back of a robust performance by the manufacturing sector, as indicated in data released by the National Statistics Office (NSO) on Tuesday.
Although the country’s industrial production had slowed in the April-September quarter of FY26 as compared to production in the first half of 2024-25, it picked up in September after slowing down in August.
The latest NSO data showed that the manufacturing sector’s output expanded by 4.8 per cent in September 2025, against 4 per cent in the year-ago month. It had expanded by 3.2 per cent in September 2024.
The factory output is measured in terms of the Index of Industrial Production (IIP).
