Wait 5 sec.

India’s industrial output growth eased to 4% in August from 4.3% in July, mainly due to a slowdown in manufacturing, which grew 3.8% YoY. Mining and electricity supported overall growth. Economists expect a rebound in September-October, driven by festive demand and GST cuts. Consumer durables and non-durables contracted, while infrastructure goods saw strong growth at 10.6%.
