भारतीय रिज़र्व बैंक ने आज औद्योगिक परिदृश्य सर्वेक्षण (आइओएस) के 102वें दौर के परिणाम जारी किये। इस सर्वेक्षण में 2023-24 की पहली तिमाही के लिए भारतीय विनिर्माण कंपनियों द्वारा किए जानेवाले कारोबार के परिवेश का गुणात्मक मूल्यांकन और 2023-241 की दूसरी तिमाही के लिए उक्त कंपनियों की अपेक्षाओं के साथ-साथ आगामी दो तिमाहियों के लिए चयनित मापदंडों पर उनके आउटलुक को समाहित किया गया है। 2023-24 की पहली तिमाही के दौरान सर्वेक्षण के इस दौर में कुल 1,247 कंपनियों ने प्रत्युत्तर दिए। विशेष: क. पहली तिमाही (Q1) 2023-24 का मूल्यांकन
-
जैसा कि उत्पादन, ऑर्डर बुक और क्षमता उपयोग पर उनके मूल्यांकन से पता चला है, विनिर्माण कंपनियों ने 2023-24 की पहली तिमाही के दौरान मांग की स्थिति में पूर्व की तुलना में धीमी सुधार की सूचना दी है (सारणी-ए)।
-
तिमाही के दौरान कच्चे माल की लागत का दबाव कम हुआ लेकिन निर्माताओं ने वेतन व्यय में बढ़ोतरी और बढ़ी हुई ऋण लागत का दबाव बरकरार रहने का आकलन किया है।
-
विनिर्माताओं ने लाभ मार्जिन के मूल्यांकन में अनुवर्ती परिवर्तन के साथ बिक्री मूल्य सेंटिमेंट्स में वृद्धि की सूचना दी।
-
विनिर्माण क्षेत्र में समग्र कारोबारी धारणा सकारात्मक रही; व्यापार मूल्यांकन सूचकांक2 (बीएआई) 2023-24 की पहली तिमाही में 112.2 पर स्थिर रहा (चार्ट-1)।
ख. दूसरी तिमाही (Q2) 2023-24 के लिए अपेक्षाएं
-
2023-24 की दूसरी तिमाही के लिए निर्माता मांग की स्थिति पर अधिक आशावादी रहे जैसा कि उत्पादन, ऑर्डर बुक, क्षमता उपयोग और विदेशी व्यापार पर उनकी उन्नत अपेक्षाओं में परिलक्षित होता है (सारणी-ए)।
-
वित्तपोषण और मजदूरी की कीमतों से लागत मूल्य का दबाव 2023-24 की दूसरी तिमाही के दौरान जारी रहने की संभावना है, जबकि कच्चे माल की खरीद के मामले में इसमें थोड़ी नरमी अपेक्षित है।
-
निर्माताओं को 2023-24 की दूसरी तिमाही में अधिक बिक्री मूल्यों और लाभ मार्जिन अर्जित करने की उम्मीद है।
-
व्यावसायिक अपेक्षा सूचकांक (बीईआई) पिछली तिमाही के 126.4 से बढ़कर 2023-24 की दूसरी तिमाही में 132.5 हो गया (चार्ट-1)।
ग. 2023-24 की तीसरी और चौथी तिमाही के लिए अपेक्षाएं
-
विनिर्माता वित्त वर्ष की दूसरी छमाही में उत्पादन, ऑर्डर बुक, रोजगार, क्षमता उपयोग और समग्र कारोबारी स्थिति को लेकर आशावादी बने हुए हैं (सारणी बी)।
-
लागत मूल्य का दबाव कुछ नरमी के साथ जारी रहने की उम्मीद है और निर्माताओं को उम्मीद है कि बेहतर मूल्य निर्धारण की स्थिति उन्हें बिक्री मूल्य बढ़ाने में सक्षम बना सकती है।
