Series Information
Central Bureau of Statistics has been compiling and publishing Manufacturing Production Index (MPI) and Manufacturing Producers' Price Index (MPPI) since 1974/75 with a purpose of measuring changes taking place in the level of manufacturing production and producers' prices on yearly basis. However to meet the demand of the users, CBS initiated Quarterly MPI and Quarterly MPPI since 2000/01. The Manufacturing Production Index and the Manufacturing Producers' Price Index are compiled and released at quarterly and annual basis. Besides, Manufacturing Production Index is also compiled for the first six month and first nine month in each fiscal years. These indices are the 11th quarterly index in the series compiled since 2000/01. In one hand, CBS has been compiling these indices for 44 commodities from 23 industry group since 2007/08, one the other hand, 34 commodities from 20 industry group which was continued from 2002/03.
Abstract
The manufacturing production and price indices include only the domestic manufacturing products. The present manufacturing production index is based on census of manufacturing establishments (CME) 2006/07. The both indices cover 23-three-digit NSIC groups and 44 commodities. The selected commodities for the index are updated at the interval of each five years. The revision is based on the census of manufacturing establishments, to be conducted quinquinnial.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure
The sample design for the present quarterly survey of manufacturing production and price indices are based on the census value added provided by the CME 2006/07.

Selection of four-digit NSIC industry group:
All the four-digit NSIC industry groups contributing 0.5 percent or more to the total census value added are included in the frame. Accordingly, 23 four-digit NSIC industry groups are selected.

Selection of the manufacturing establishments:
Selection of the manufacturing establishments within the each selected four-digit NSIC industry group has been categorized in two ways. In one hand, only five largest establishments are selected with certainty that have concentration ratio 80% or more within the same industry group. On the other hand, for those having concentration ratio less than 80%, the five largest establishments with certainty as well as the other sampled establishments are selected for the sample depending upon share of concentration ratio occupied by them. The selection is based on the probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling technique.

Selection of the commodities:
The commodities are selected within each four-digit NSIC industry group on the basis of the share to the total value of shipment as provided by manufacturing census 2006/07. As per this criterion 44 manufacturing commodities are selected under the 23 four-digit NSIC industry group.
Deviations from the Sample Design
Minor deviation is due to instability of some of the sampled establishments
Response Rate
Approximaterly 85 percent
Weighting
The weight of the quarterly survey of manufacturing production and price indices is based on total census output of CME 2006/07. Weight has been assigned at two stages. At the first stage it has been assigned in four-digit NSIC industry group and at the second stage, the weight of the particular four-digit NSIC industry groups are redistributed among the selected commodities within that particular four-digit NSIC industry group. The redistribution of the weight at the commodity level is based on their share on total value of shipment within that particular four-digit NSIC industry group.
