The Reserve Bank of India has through different Press Releases dated 2nd November 2020, launched the 92nd round of the quarterly Industrial Outlook Survey (IOS) of the Indian manufacturing sector and the 27th round of the quarterly Services and Infrastructure Outlook Survey (SIOS) for the reference period October-December 2020.
The above surveys assess business sentiment for the current quarter (Q3:2020-21) and expectations for the ensuing quarter (Q4:2020-21), based on qualitative responses on a set of indicators pertaining to demand conditions, financial conditions, employment conditions and the price situation and provides useful insight into the performance of the manufacturing sector. Owing to continued uncertainty because of the Covid-19 pandemic, an additional block has been included in these survey rounds for assessing the outlook on key parameters for the two subsequent quarters (Q1:2021-22 and Q2:2021-22).
Also, M/s Hansa Research Group Private Limited has been authorised to conduct the surveys for October-December, 2020 on behalf of the Reserve Bank.
