KUALA LUMPUR: The industrial production index (IPI) expanded by 5.7 per cent in September 2025, following a growth of 4.8 per cent in the previous month, driven by growth in the mining and manufacturing sectors, said the Statistics Department of Malaysia (DoSM).
Chief statistician Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin said the expansion was due to a robust manufacturing growth at 5.0 per cent from 2.8 per cent in August 2025, a 10.2 per cent growth in the mining sector (Aug 2025: 16.8 per cent) and a 2.8 per cent rise in the electricity sector (Aug 2025: 1.2 per cent).
