Why it matters

It is the quickest monthly read on the production side of the economy, ahead of the quarterly GDP release.

What it leaves out

Quick estimates, revised the next month. Output volumes, not prices or profits, and only the organised, measured part of industry. The 2022-23 base began in 2026; the 2011-12 base's history is drawn beside it, not joined. MoSPI left April 2021 growth blank; we worked it out from the index (133.5%), and the same for April 2004 to March 2005 on the oldest base. For the use-based groups April 2021 is left blank: the index a year earlier was so low that growth runs to thousands of per cent.
