Industrial production has surpassed the pre-pandemic level, with only consumer durables sector being catching up at slow pace. The report said, “The green shoots of revival have spilled out of the high frequency indicators and on to the headline metrics in a recovery that is progressively solidifying.” During July-September 2021, Economic Activity India (EIA) showed real GDP growth of 9.6%.

RBI’s surveys indicate government spending, stronger orders and improving pace of execution is reviving the demand across infrastructure linked and services sector. India’s business conditions recovered from the second wave with manufacturing, services and infrastructure showing improved performance.
