Delhi's manufacturing growth three times higher than national growth: Report

Delhi’s manufacturing sector recorded robust growth of 11.9% in 2024-25, nearly three times the national average of 4.1%, highlighting stronger industrial recovery in the capital, according to the annual Index of Industrial Production (IIP) report by the Directorate of Economics and Statistics. Overall industrial output in Delhi rose 9.19% in 2024-25 compared to 2023-24, significantly higher than the national growth of 4%. The data, based on production from 134 manufacturing units and one electricity unit, showed key contributors included food products, leather, motor vehicles, transport equipment, fabricated metals, chemicals, and beverages.
The report noted that Delhi’s electricity sector grew 3.35% in 2024-25 compared to 2023-24, slightly below the all-India growth of 5.2%. The IIP tracks changes in industrial production volume, with weights assigned based on the state’s gross value added in the 2011-12 base year. While some product groups, such as apparel, electronics, machinery, and pharmaceuticals, showed lower output due to closures or relocation of units, the city’s overall manufacturing growth outpaced the national average, underlining Delhi’s industrial resilience.
