Objective: The Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation (MoSPI) has launched the first sub-sectoral Trial ISP to measure monthly, short-term movements in India’s formal services sector.
Base Year: 2024-25.
Frequency: Monthly releases scheduled for the 29th of every month.
Coverage: Currently covers 19 sub-sectors, representing approximately 60% of the total services sector.
Methodology: Developed under the guidance of the Technical Advisory Committee on ISP (TAC-ISP), constituted in May 2025.
Classification: Based on the National Industrial Classification (NIC), 2025.
Scope: Limited to the formal sector enterprises. It excludes core government activities, non-market activities, and the informal sector.
Data Sources: A differentiated approach based on the nature of the service:
Administrative/Secondary Data: Used for Air Transport, Railways, Water Transport (Freight), Banking, and Insurance.
GST Data: Used for Wholesale/Retail Trade, IT, Real Estate, Professional Services, Telecommunications, etc.
ASISSE Data: Used to determine weights at the 2/3-digit level of NIC.
Deflators: To account for inflation and determine real growth, the index uses WPI (for wholesale trade) and various CPI metrics (sub-sector specific or CPI-Services) for other service areas.
Growth Trend: 14 out of the 19 sub-sectors recorded double-digit growth compared to April 2025.
Top-Performing Sectors:
Accommodation and Food: 37.2%
Retail Trade: 30.8%
Administrative & Support Services: 28.7%
Real Estate: 27.7%

Economic Measurement: Strengthens India’s statistical system by providing the first-ever monthly barometer for the services sector, which drives over 50% of the country’s economic activity.
Policy Tool: Acts as a vital macro-economic indicator allowing policymakers to track resilience and stability in sub-sectors, aiding in timely economic interventions.
