India’s Industrial Production Rises 1.5% in June 2025 — Manufacturing Leads the Surge

India’s industrial activity grew by 1.5 per cent in June 2025 compared to the previous year in June 2024, as per the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI). The ministry noted that this was an improvement from 1.2 percent growth in May 2025, showing a steady rise in industrial output.

Manufacturing Shows Strong Growth

The growth was mainly due to the manufacturing sector, which expanded by 3.9 percent over June 2024. In contrast, mining activity dropped by 8.7 percent, and electricity production fell by 2.6 percent, slightly pulling down the overall growth.

In June 2025, the overall Industrial Production Index (IIP) rose to 153.3, compared to 151.0 in June last year. The index was 123.2 for mining, 152.3 for manufacturing, and 217.1 for electricity. Among the 23 manufacturing industries, 15 showed positive growth.

Key performers included:

Fabricated metal products (excluding machinery and equipment) grow by 15.2 percent.

Basic metals, up by 9.6 percent

Coke and refined petroleum items grow by 4.2 percent.

Growth in Capital, Infrastructure, and Consumer Goods

Based on use-based classification, several categories showed good results:

Capital goods rose by 3.5 percent.

Intermediate goods increased by 5.5 percent.

Infrastructure and construction goods saw a strong rise of 7.2 percent.

Consumer durables went up by 2.9 percent.

However, primary goods slightly dipped by 0.3 percent, and consumer non-durables fell by 0.4 percent. Products like mild steel slabs, HR coils and sheets, and steel pipes and tubes, along with diesel, naphtha, and petrol, played a big role in the growth.

Data Based on High Response Rate

The industrial production data for June 2025 was prepared using information from 89.2% of sources. At the same time, updated data for May 2025 was shared, based on 93.6% of responses. These quick estimates are likely to be updated in future releases as per the regular IIP revision policy.
