Abstract: Let the group $G=AB$ be the product of subgroups $A$ and $B$, and let $p$ be a prime. We prove that $p$ does not divide the conjugacy class size (index) of each $p$-regular element of prime power order $xinAcupB$ if and only if $G$ is $p$-decomposable, i.e. $G=O_p(G)imes{O}_{p^{\prime }}(G)$.
