## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF STATISTICS  AND  PROGRAMME  IMPLEMENTATION;  MINISTER  OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF PLANNING AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CULTURE [RAO INDERJIT SINGH]

- (a) The details of Index of Industrial Production (IIP) since the last three years, month and sector wise are given in Annexure.
- (b) The details of IIP of January 2026 across sectors of manufacturing, mining, electricity and consumer are given below:
- (c) GDP  in  real  terms  reflects  the  value  of  all  goods  and  services produced by an economy in a given year, expressed in base-year prices, also referred to as 'constant-prices'. Whereas, the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) is a key short-term indicator reflecting the pulse of industrial production growth in the country. IIP serves as an important input for the quarterly estimation of Gross Value Added (GVA) of the manufacturing sector.
- (d) The Government has taken several steps to boost investments and attract  more  industrial  activities  in  the  country.  Government through Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT)  and  other  Central  Ministries/Departments  provides  an enabling ecosystem for the overall industrial development of the country  through  appropriate  policy  interventions.  In  addition  to ongoing  schemes  of  various  Ministries  and  Departments,  the Government has taken various steps for promotion and facilitation of setting up of new industries across State/UTs such as Make in India, Startup India, PM GatiShakti, National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), National Industrial Corridor Programme, Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme, promoting Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) and reducing compliance burden, National Single Window System (NSWS), India Industrial Land Bank (IILB), Project Monitoring Group (PMG),  liberalization  of  Foreign  Direct  Investment  (FDI)  policy, Indian  Footwear  and  Leather  Development  Programme  (IFLDP) Scheme,  etc.  To  strengthen  economic  growth  and  enhance  its global standing, the government has steadily expanded its global trade partnerships; for example, the India-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement includes a USD 20 Billion investment commitment over
- 15  years,  while  the  India-EFTA  Trade  and  Economic  Partnership Agreement provide a USD 100 Billion investment commitment over 15 years, thus supporting economic growth in the country.
- (e) India is actively participating in regional and plurilateral platforms to  support  diversified  and  sustainable  supply  chains  and  to strengthen economic engagement and cooperation among partner countries  with  the  goal  of  advancing  growth,  economic  stability and prosperity.  Further, Department of Commerce has established the  International  Supply  Chain  Resilience  Study  Group  (Group), consisting  of  representatives  from  Ministries/Departments  and industry  bodies,  to  ensure  a  comprehensive  and  coordinated approach. So far four meetings of the group have been held. During the  course  of  its  meetings,  the  Group,  finalized  the  analytical framework  for the study, identified priority sectors,  namely Pharmaceuticals  &  Medical  Devices,  Chemicals  and  Fertilizers, Critical Minerals and Metals, Electronics and Semiconductors, and Automobile and proposed mechanisms for data harmonization and structured industry engagement. The Group also recommended the establishment of an Early Warning System to monitor import surges or disruptions. The Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices sectors have been selected for the first detailed assessment owing to their strategic importance for public health, deep integration into global value chains, and heightened exposure to external supply disruptions.
