A day after Government said index of industrial production (IIP,) registered 2 per cent growth in April, it corrected figures twice within span of a few hours on Thursday saying IIP grew at 2.3 per cent in April instead of 2 per cent as reported on Wednesday.
The first correction this morning put the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) at 2.2 per cent, only to revise it yet again later in the day to 2.3 per cent.
The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation cited wrong recording of production data for the electricity sector as the reason for revision. According to official data released on Wednesday, industrial production, measured in terms of index of industrial production (IIP,) registered 2 per cent growth in April.
