Slump in demand
In FY19, the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), an amount based measure, raised to 3.6%. Various indicators like vehicle sales, train and airfares, petroleum goods and other goods, showed a decreased consumption, though the inflation was low. Sales of passenger vehicles saw the slowest growth period of 5 years, meager 2.7%.
