27 October 2026

The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, with the Department of Economics and Statistics of Keralam, will hold a three-day workshop at Thiruvananthapuram on the base revision of the state-level Index of Industrial Production. The All-India Index of Industrial Production has already been shifted from the base year 2011-12 to the base year 2022-23, and the workshop will review the proposed changes for the revised index at the state level. Participants will finalise the items to be tracked and the factories that will report data, and give feedback on the revision of the National Industrial Classification-2025 and the National Product Classification. Around 60 officials from the Ministry and from the Directorates of Economics and Statistics of States and Union Territories are expected to attend.

Old base year of All-India IIP: 2011-12 New base year of All-India IIP: 2022-23 Officials expected: around 60

Why it matters for exams: The durable facts are that the Index of Industrial Production is released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation through the National Statistics Office, that its base year has been changed from 2011-12 to 2022-23, and that industrial units are classified under the National Industrial Classification.
