<h1>India's CPI and IIP Data Release Time Changed to 4:00 PM Monthly for Better Market Alignment and Accessibility.</h1> The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation has changed the release time for the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Index of Industrial Production (IIP) from 5:30 PM to 4:00 PM on the 12th of each month, or the following working day if the 12th is a holiday. This adjustment aims to provide more time for accessing data and aligns with the closing hours of major financial markets in India. The change reflects a commitment to transparency and accessibility in data dissemination. The next release, covering October 2024, will be available on November 12, 2024, at 4:00 PM.
