India’s Industrial Engine Overhauled: Manufacturing Powers 4.9% IIP Growth Under New 2022-23 Base
India’s industrial tracking just got a vital modern upgrade. The Ministry of Statistics (MoSPI) has officially retired its legacy 2011-12 baseline, debuting a refreshed 2022-23 base year that completely reboots the factory item basket to reflect today's economy. The new framework's maiden voyage delivered a 4.9% year-on-year growth for April 2026, driven by a manufacturing, which surged 6.2% with electrical equipment production growing by 19.2%, while machinery and automotive sectors both cruised past 12% growth, easily offsetting a temporary 5.1% contraction in mining.
Slicing the data by end-use reveals Capital goods—the machinery companies buy to expand their own factories— with a growth of 16.0% leap, which can lead to long-term capacity building if the trend continues. Intermediate goods (up 7.7%) and infrastructure supplies (up 7.1%) rounded out the top growth drivers, while everyday consumer items grew at a more modest, measured pace. The revamped 2022-23 series significantly alters what MoSPI tracks to measure India’s industrial health. The updated item basket now spans 463 distinct item groups, up from 407 in the old series. Ultimately, this newly calibrated index reveals an industrial landscape where investment and heavy manufacturing are doing the heavy lifting, setting a strong tone ahead of the next data drop by June end
