The Reserve Bank has launched the 108th round of the quarterly Industrial Outlook Survey (IOS) of the Indian manufacturing sector for the reference period October-December 2024. The survey assesses business sentiment for the current quarter (Q3:2024-25) and expectations for the ensuing quarter (Q4:2024-25), based on qualitative responses on a set of indicators pertaining to demand conditions, financial conditions, employment conditions and the price situation. The outlook on key parameters for the two subsequent quarters (Q1:2025-26 and Q2:2025-26) are also covered.

2. The survey findings are released in summary form on the website of the Bank regularly, where identity of the respondents is not revealed.

3. M/s Genesis Management & Market Research Pvt. Ltd. has been authorised to conduct the survey for October-December 2024 on behalf of the Reserve Bank.
