Core sectors grow 5% in June 2026 under new Index of Core Industries series
The Government released a new series of the Index of Core Industries, with a new base year, wider sectoral coverage and revised weightages. Under the updated index, core sector output grew 5% in June 2026, a five-month high. The eight core industries carry a large weight in overall industrial output, so the rebasing changes how headline industrial growth is measured.
