India’s Industrial Output (IIP) Growth Slows to 4.8% in January 2026

The data is officially compiled and released by the National Statistical Office (NSO) on the 28th of every month (or the next working day).
Analysts view this moderation as a reflection of changing domestic demand and varying global economic headwinds affecting the manufacturing sector.
