Monsoon
on track
Thiruvananthapuram: All indicators of the India
Meteorological Department's (IMD) projections for this
year's monsoon signal the onset of the tropical weather
system over South Andaman Sea within 48 hours. This is
largely in keeping with the normal schedule for the onset,
with May 15 being the appointed day for South Andamans.
The next major landfall would be the Sri Lankan coast
on May 25, before the system reaches the Kerala coast
on June 1 on its Indian leg. Earlier in April, the IMD
had in its long range forecast said that the country is
set to have a "100 per cent" normal south-west
monsoon this year.

is higher than the corresponding 5.7 per cent figure for
the previous fiscal. Further, two out of the three main
sectors constituting the official Index of Industrial
Production (IIP) have recorded higher growth rates: manufacturing
at 7.2 per cent (six per cent) and electricity at five
