The Index of Core Industries (ICI) registered a robust year-on-year growth of 5.0 per cent (Provisional) in June 2026, improving from 3.2 per cent recorded in May 2026. The growth reflects a broad-based improvement in core sector activity, led by strong performance in Iron Ore, Electricity, Cement and Steel, while sectors such as Natural Gas, Crude Oil, Refinery Products and Fertilizers continued to record contraction. During the first quarter of FY 2026-27 (April-June 2026), the cumulative growth of the core industries stood at 3.6 per cent, compared with 1.0 per cent during the corresponding period of the previous year, indicating a strengthening of industrial activity.
