The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has launched a new quarterly manufacturing survey for the second quarter of 2024. This initiative aims to provide more accurate and timely insights into the manufacturing sector’s performance, which is crucial for policy formulation and economic planning.
The survey will gather data on various parameters, including production levels, order books, inventory status, and capacity utilization. This information will help policymakers understand the sector’s challenges and growth prospects, enabling them to implement targeted measures to support manufacturing activities.
By introducing this quarterly survey, the RBI seeks to enhance the quality of economic data available to stakeholders. This move is part of a broader effort to improve transparency and accountability in the Indian manufacturing sector, ultimately fostering a more conducive environment for industrial growth and development.
