India to Release Annual City-Level Labour and Enterprise Reports for 47 Cities

India's Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) plans to publish annual city-level statistical reports for 47 cities with populations over one million, based on 2011 Census data. Using data from the Periodic Labour Force Survey and the Annual Survey of Unincorporated Sector Enterprises, the reports will cover labour market indicators and urban informal sector dynamics. The initiative aims to fill gaps in urban data, support policy-making, and aid city-level GDP estimation, with reports made publicly available in user-friendly formats.
