Explanation
The Eight Core Industries are coal, crude oil, natural gas, refinery products, fertilisers, steel, cement and electricity, with a combined weight of 40.27 per cent in the Index of Industrial Production. Rubber products are not part of this core group. The DPIIT revised the base year of the index while keeping this composition. Hence rubber products is the odd one out.
