India’s manufacturing sector continues to show strong resilience and confidence.
According to the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), the Quarterly Manufacturing Index reached an all-time high in Q3 FY26 (October–December). An impressive 91% of surveyed manufacturers reported either higher or unchanged production levels, up from 87% in Q2 FY26.
This insight comes from the 86th edition of FICCI’s Quarterly Survey on Manufacturing (QSM), which captures industry performance and sentiment across eight major sectors, including:
- Automotive components
- Capital goods
- Chemicals, fertilisers & pharmaceuticals
- Electronics & electricals
- Machine tools
- Metals & metal products
- Textiles, apparel & technical textiles

The survey underscores sustained production stability and growing optimism across India’s manufacturing landscape, reinforcing the sector’s role as a key driver of economic growth.
