India’s macro data volume to rise with monthly labour surveys, capex reports; MoSPI fixes new IIP release date

The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) is set to enhance the frequency and timeliness of key macroeconomic data releases, introducing a private sector capex survey, monthly labour force reports, and a revised schedule for the factory output data from 2025-25 (FY26).

According to CNBC TV-18, the index of industrial production (IIP) data will be released on the 28th of each month instead of the 12th, reducing the time lag from 42 days to a more current monthly cycle. This will align the IIP data with other economic indicators, ensuring policymakers and analysts have more relevant insights.
