Growth in the output of India’s core industries fell to a three-month low of 4.8% in August. Six of the nine sectors saw slower growth last month, data released by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade on Monday showed. The six core sectors, where output growth was slower in August compared to July, account for over 44% of the Index of Core Industries (ICI). Slower headline growth among these six sectors was driven by coal, iron ore, and fertilisers.
