<h1>Government Initiatives Aim to Revive Core Industries Post-COVID with Infrastructure Boost and Sector Reforms.</h1> The Index of Eight Core Industries (ICI) measures the production performance of key sectors like coal, crude oil, natural gas, and others. The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted these industries due to disruptions in demand and supply, leading to a decline in production. To counter this, the government has implemented initiatives such as the National Infrastructure Pipeline, Make in India, and Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan, among others. These initiatives aim to boost infrastructure, enhance domestic production, and attract investment. Reforms in coal, oil, and gas sectors, along with incentives for manufacturing and industrial development, are also part of these efforts.
