(i) Monthly Quick Estimates are released by fifteenth of the following month,

(ii) Principal Commodity level data is released within 30 days, and

(iii) Detailed 8-digit commodity level data are released within 60 days.

All these data are provisional and are dynamically revised till it is finalised on the basis of late receipt data.
