Goyal discusses ways to boost manufacturing with industry representatives

An inter-ministerial meeting was held with industry associations to discuss ways to boost the country's manufacturing, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on Friday. He said that the government is committed to working closely with the industry to expand manufacturing capacities, enhance quality standards and strengthen competitiveness. A comprehensive meeting with officials from key ministries and leading industry associations was held to strategise on boosting domestic manufacturing, he said in a social media post. The meeting comes at a time when the government is working with the industry to identify about 100 products -- including those from the auto, chemicals, plastics and petrochemicals sectors -- that are either not produced or manufactured inadequately in India, as part of efforts to boost domestic production. The exercise is aimed at reducing the import bill of the country, as outflows of foreign exchange are impacting the value of the domestic currency again

MoSPI plans transition to chain-based approach for IIP data compilation

The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) has proposed transition towards the chain-based method of index of Industrial Production (IIP) compilation, as it is undertaking a base-revision exercise of macroeconomic data. In the process of revising the base, the MoSPI is revisiting methodologies, exploring new data sources, and incorporating changes following comprehensive consultations with experts, academicians, users, and other stakeholders, an official statement said. Traditionally, the IIP was compiled using a fixed-base Laspeyres framework, in which sectoral and industry weights remain unchanged until a base-year revision. However, it stated that, with production shifts in response to demand, technological changes, and policy shifts, some industries expand, while others decline or disappear, and entirely new industries or production lines within an industry emerge. Therefore, fixed weights become progressively less relevant, thereby affecting the efficacy o
