भारतीय रिज़र्व बैंक ने आज औद्योगिक परिदृश्य सर्वेक्षण (आइओएस) के 97वें चक्र का परिणाम जारी किया। इस सर्वेक्षण में क्यू4: 2021-22 के लिए भारतीय विनिर्माण कंपनियों द्वारा किए जानेवाले कारोबार के परिवेश और क्यू1: 2022-231 के लिए उनकी प्रत्याशाओं का गुणात्मक मूल्यांकन किया गया है। जनवरी-मार्च 2022 में संचालित सर्वेक्षण के इस चक्र में कुल 1283 कंपनियों ने प्रत्युत्तर दिए। कोविद 19 महामारी के कारण व्याप्त अनिश्चितता की स्थिति को देखते हुए प्रमुख मानदंडों के आधार पर आगे की दो तिमाहियों और उसके आगे की तीन तिमाहियों के आउटलुक का मूल्यांकन करने के लिए सर्वेक्षण के इस चक्र में एक अतिरिक्त ब्लॉक सम्मिलित किया गया है। विशेष: क. चौथी तिमाही (Q4) 2021-22 का मूल्यांकन
-
विनिर्माण कंपनियों ने क्यू-4: 2021-22 में उत्पादन, ऑर्डर बहियों और रोज़गार स्थितियों के संदर्भ में मांग की स्थितियों में सुधार का मूल्यांकन किया है, भले ही उसकी गति पिछले सर्वेक्षण चक्र की तुलना में धीमी है (सारणी-ए) ।
-
2021-22 की चौथी तिमाही में क्षमता उपभोग और वित्त की उपलब्धता भावनाओं में और अधिक सुधार दिखा।
-
विनिर्माणकर्ताओं का मानना था कि मूल्यों में दबाव निरंतर बना रहा, जबकि कच्ची सामग्री की लागत और बिक्री मूल्यों में वृद्धि गति में शिथिलता देखी गई ।
-
पिछली तिमाही की तुलना में मांग स्थितियां कमजोर होने के कारण लाभ मार्जिन की भावनाएं ऋणात्मक पाई गई ।
-
कारोबारी भावनाओं में मामूली गिरावट के साथ अच्छी बढ़त बनी रही, जैसा कि कारोबार मूल्यांकन सूचकांक (BAI)2 में प्रदर्शित है, जो पिछली तिमाही के 115.0 की तुलना में चौथी तिमाही में 111.5 पर था (चार्ट-1) ।
ख. पहली तिमाही (Q1) 2022-23 के लिए अपेक्षाएं
-
2022-23 की पहली तिमाही के लिए मांग के मानदंडों जैसे कि उत्पादन मात्रा, नए ऑर्डस और रोज़गार लैंडस्केप में उत्तरदाताओं ने बढ़त की उम्मीद ज़ाहिर की है।
-
2022-22 की पहली तिमाही में क्षमता उपभोग और समग्र वित्त स्थिति में और भी सुधार होने की उम्मीद है।
-
2022-23 की पहली तिमाही में कच्ची सामग्री की खरीद के दबावों में बढ़त की गुंजाइश है; उत्तरदाताओं ने बिक्री मूल्यों में उत्तम अवधारणाएं व्यक्त की हैं जिसके परिणाम स्वरूप पिछले चक्र की तुलना में कच्ची सामग्री के लागत दबावों सहित अधिक मूल्य अभिधारण शक्ति मिलेगी।
-
2022-23 की पहली तिमाही में कारोबार अपेक्षाओं का सूचकांक (BEI) पिछली तिमाही में रहे 137.8 से घटकर 134.7 पर रहकर भी उच्च था (चार्ट-1) ।
ग. 2022-23 की दूसरी और तीसरी तिमाही के लिए अपेक्षाएं
-
विनिर्माणकर्ताओं का मानना है कि 2022-23 की तीसरी तिमाही तक उत्पादन मात्रा, ऑर्डर बहियों, क्षमता उपभोग और समग्र कारोबार की स्थितियों में क्रमिक सुधार होंगे (सारणी-बी) ।
-
उत्तरदाताओं को उम्मीद है कि आगे की तिमाहियों में इनपुट लागत दबाव जारी रहेगा और बिक्री मूल्य ऊंचाई पर रहेंगे।
