It appears that pre-stocking due to festive demand in September and October has not taken place," said Devendra Kumar Pant, Chief Economist at India Ratings & Research."Going forward, the IIP is likely to show erratic low growth trend. The policy measures announced by the government after the first quarter GDP growth of 5 per cent are more supply side interventions and are unlikely to boost demand. With no fiscal space available to the government, it is unlikely that the demand is going to return back soon," Pant said.( With inputs from IANS )
