8.11 To provide another perspective on the revival of growth, the IIP was further analysed by
the weight of items that have recorded growth. The weight of the items that recorded growth was

46.05 per cent in November-2020, which was significantly higher than 5.87 per cent in the month
of April-2020 (Figure 9 and Table 5). In the past (from Apr-12 to Feb-20), the number of items
that recorded a monthly growth in the pre-COVID-19 regime had an average weight of 61.6 per
cent. The weight of the items recording positive growth in November-2019 and November-2018
were 56.22 per cent and 52.40 per cent, respectively. Table 6 and Table 7 present the number
of items that fall under different growth categories and corresponding weights in those growth
categories.
