The correct answer is retail trade, which expanded faster than any other sub-sector over August 2025 and also carried the second highest index reading in the series.

Every reading in the Index of Services Production is measured against output in that base year, so a sub-sector standing above the base-year level has grown since then and one standing below it has not recovered to where it was.

MoSPI compiles and publishes the Index of Services Production, and it released the figures for August 2026 covering 19 broad sub-sectors on the base year 2024-25.

It organised the second edition of the ARISE Cities Forum with the National Institute of Urban Affairs, with support from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, and it also developed the Delhi Biodiversity Map that was launched at the closing ceremony.

The Delhi Declaration 2026 was written to travel from New Delhi to COP31 at Antalya, and the forum's theme, From Bharat to Antalya, was built around that journey.

Its second edition was held on 27 and 28 October 2026 at the India Habitat Centre in New Delhi, organised by ICLEI South Asia along with the National Institute of Urban Affairs and supported by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.

Both particles gain the same kinetic energy, but the electron is far lighter, so it ends up much faster. When a charge q is accelerated through a potential difference V, it gains kinetic energy equal to qV.

The object lies between F and 2F of the convex lens (25 cm and 50 cm), and such an object always gives a real, inverted and enlarged image beyond 2F. Using the lens formula 1/v − 1/u = 1/f with u = −40 cm and f = +25 cm gives…

Ultraviolet rays have the shortest wavelength of the three, visible light comes next and infrared rays have the longest. The electromagnetic spectrum, in order of increasing wavelength, runs from gamma rays and X-rays to ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwaves and radio waves.
