Index of Eight Core Industries (Base: 2004-05=100), February 2013

image001

The   Eight core industries have a combined weight of 37.90 per cent in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP).  The combined Index was 144.4 in February 2013 with a growth rate of (-) 2.5% compared to their 7.7% growth in February 2012.  The decline in  growth in February,2013 was on account of negative growth witnessed in Electricity generation and in the production of Crude Oil, Coal, Natural Gas and Fertilizers.

Natural Gas

The growth rate of Natural Gas production (weight: 1.71%) was negative both in February, 2013 at (-) 20.1% and inFebruary 2012 at (-) 7.6%. Cumulatively also, Natural Gas production registered a negative growth of (-) 14.2% during April-February 2012-13 and (-) 8.8% during the same period of 2011-12.

Petroleum Refinery Products (0.93% of Crude Throughput)*

Petroleum refinery production (weight: 5.94%) had a growth of 4.3% in February 2013 compared to its growth at 6.0% in February 2012.  In cumulative terms, Petroleum refinery production registered a growth of 7.0% during April-February 2012-13 compared to its 3.3% growth during the same period of 2011-12.

Fertilizers

Fertilizer production (weight: 1.25%) registered a growth of (-) 4.0% in February 2013 against its growth at 4.1% inFebruary 2012. Cumulatively, Fertilizer production registered a growth of (-) 4.0% during April-February2012-13 compared to its 0.3% growth during the same period of 2011-12.

 Steel (Alloy + Non-Alloy)

Steel production (weight: 6.68%) had a growth rate of 0.5% in February 2013 against its 8.7% growth inFebruary 2012. Cumulatively, Steel production registered 2.1% growth during April-February 2012-13 compared to its 10.7% growth during the same period of 2011-12.

Cement

Cement production (weight: 2.41%) registered a growth of 3.9% in February 2013 against its 9.8% growth inFebruary 2012. The cumulative growth of Cement Production was 5.5% during April-February 2012-13 compared to its 6.7% growth during the same period of 2011-12.

Electricity

Electricity generation (weight: 10.32%) had a (-) 4.1% growth in February 2013 compared to its 8.6% growth in February 2012. The cumulative growth of Electricity generation was 4.0% during April-February 2012-13 compared to its 8.7% growth during the same period of 2011-12.

* RPL (SEZ) with refining capacity 29MMT was commissioned on 25.12.2008 but crude throughput not reported by the refinery and not included in production for entire period.
