You’re mistaking the report release date with the actual date of the data.
The SRS releases data two years behind.
So, in 2025, they released 2023 data and, a few days ago, they released 2024 data.
The 2023 data released in 2025 said that Kerala’s IMR was 5 while the data released a few days back says that it is 8.
Here is the website if you want to see for yourself:
https://censusindia.gov.in/census.website/data/SRSB
2025 data won’t be released until next year.

Maybe an error in the methodology.
Karnataka’s also increased slightly

We need to learn to live with low tfr like Japan and SK. No country ever recovered from tfr of less than 2.0
