The Reserve Bank of India today placed on its website an update on “Measuring Productivity at the Industry Level-The India KLEMS [Capital (K), Labour (L), Energy (E), Material (M) and Services (S)] Database” comprising the Data Manual 2024 and time-series data on productivity for 27 industries covering the period 1980-81 to 2022-23. The database, which has KLEMS data for an additional year, i.e., 2022-23, is expected to aid the analysis of productivity trends in India at disaggregated industry levels.

Along with the industry-wise estimate, a provisional estimate of productivity for the total economy has also been attempted for the first time for the financial year 2023-24 based on the available information.
