India’s factory output growth accelerated to 5.2% year-on-year (Y-o-Y) in February from an upward revision of 5.1% in January, primarily driven by 6% growth in manufacturing sector and also aided by a favourable base, according to data released by Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) on Monday. The February print, however, doesn’t reflect the likely impact of the West Asia crisis. The economists expect the March print to reflect the impact of conflict on the factory output growth.
