For FY21, output of the eight core industries declined 6.5 per cent as compared to the earlier year.
The output of eight core industries grew 56.1 per cent year-on-year (YoY) in April 2021 on a low-base effect as industrial production was very low in the year-ago month because of a nationwide lockdown.
However, the industrial output declined 15.1 per cent as compared to March 2021 due to the emergence of second wave of COVID-19 pandemic, with all eight industries registering a decline in output.
