Industrial growth in India slowed to 4.9% in April 2025, its weakest pace in eight months. Manufacturing increased 4.5%, mining 5.1%, and electricity 6.2%.
Major pointers such as capital goods (3.6%) and consumer durables (1.9%) recorded subdued performance due to weak investment demand and risk-averse consumer spending.
