According to the latest data released, India's industrial production grew 6.7% year-on-year in July. This marks a noticeable pickup in overall factory output compared with the same month last year.
The manufacturing sector, which forms a major part of the industrial production index, rose 7.3% over the same period. The increase in manufacturing reflects higher production across various industries.
