During April-October 2021, the IIP grew 20% against a 17.3% contraction in the same period last year. Industrial production has been hit due to the Covid-19 pandemic since March last year when it had contracted 18.7%.
It decreased by 57.3% in April 2020 due to a decline in economic activities in the wake of the lockdown imposed to curb the spread of coronavirus infections.
