Industrial output growth slows to 10-month low in June

Wait 5 sec.

India's industrial output growth decelerated to a 10-month low of 1.5% in June, primarily due to contractions in the mining and electricity sectors, coupled with a subdued performance in manufacturing. Excess rains impacted mining and electricity generation. While manufacturing showed marginal growth, overall IIP growth slowed to 2% in the first fiscal quarter.
