The trial Index of Services Production released by MoSPI for July 2026 covers how many broad sub-sectors?
- A.12
- B.15
- C.19
- D.23
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 19. The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation released the sub-sectoral trial Index of Services Production for the month in respect of nineteen broad sub-sectors, computed on the base year 2024-25. Those sub-sectors run from wholesale and retail trade through the transport modes, warehousing, postal and courier services, telecommunications, information and broadcasting, banking, insurance, real estate, information technology, professional and scientific services, administrative and support services and arts, entertainment and recreation. Options A, B and D are wrong because the release names nineteen sub-sectors, and the annexure carries month-wise indices for each of those same nineteen from July 2025 onwards. The ministry also stressed that the series is experimental for the present, published so that data quality and resilience can be examined and feedback gathered from users before it becomes a regular monthly release.
