RBI launches 75th OBICUS survey for Jul-Sep 2026
In short
The RBI launched its 75th OBICUS survey for July to September 2026. It will ask manufacturing companies about orders, inventories, production and capacity use.
This matters because the RBI uses the survey for monetary policy. The report does not give results yet, only that selected companies will be contacted.
What the reporting says
The Reserve Bank of India launched the 75th round of its Order Books, Inventories and Capacity Utilisation Survey for July to September 2026, according to an official release. The survey will collect manufacturing data on new orders, backlogs, inventories, production and capacity utilisation, and selected companies will be approached this quarter. The RBI said the findings feed into monetary policy, but it did not give any results yet.
