India Industrial Production Growth at 2-Year High

2025-12-29 11:00 By Andre Joaquim 1 min. read

The industrial production in India grew 6.7% from the previous year in November of 2025, accelerating from the upwardly revised 0.5% increase in the previous month, to mark the sharpest pace of expansion since October of 2023.

The robust growth pace pushed back against concerns that aggressive tariff hikes by the US government would drive a sustained slowdown in the Indian economy, especially as goods producers are likely paying for more expensive fuel after the US tariffed major Russian oil producers and distributors.

Growth was noted in manufacturing (8% vs 2% in October) on higher output of basic and fabricated metal products, pharmaceuticals, and motor vehicles.

Growth was also sharp for mining (5.4% vs -1.8%) as the closure of the monsoon season supported operations.

On the other hand, electricity output fell for a second month (-1.5% vs -6.9%).

India Industrial Production Grows Most in 2 Years
Industrial production in India expanded by 7.3% from the previous year in June of 2026, firmly above market expectations of a 5.7% growth rate to mark the sharpest pace of expansion in nearly two years. The result consolidated the rebound from lower growth rates in the start of the second quarter, when the war in the Middle East triggered energy shortages and lifted input costs for power-intensive industries. Manufacturing production surged by 7.8%, the most since the start of the year. In the meantime, output continued to surge for electricity and gas supply (10.6% vs 10.3% in May) and rebounded for mining and quarrying (1.0% vs -1.4%). From the previous month, industrial output expanded by 0.5%.

India Industrial Production Picks Up
Industrial output in India expanded by 5.1% from the previous year in May of 2026, picking up from the 4.9% increase in the previous month and ahead of market expectations of 4.7%. It was the sharpest pace of growth since February, when cheaper energy prices before the outbreak of war in the Middle East provided a better macroeconomic backdrop for Indian goods producers, who rely on energy that is mostly imported. Manufacturing output growth, which accounts for 76% of domestic industrial production, eased to 5.5% from 6.1% in the previous month. In turn, the softer oil, gas, and mid-month pullback in coal prices aided electricity and utility generation to a 9.9% growth rate from 4.6% in April. Mining and quarrying output contracted by 1.6%, slowing from the sharper 3.8% contraction in April.

India Industrial Production Expands in
Industrial output in India expanded by 4.9% from the previous year in April of 2026, firmly above the market expectations of 3.9%. It reflected robustness in the Indian goods producing sectors despite ongoing pressure from surging energy prices and lack of stability in the rupee, which have dented the purchasing power domestically. It was the first reading using weights from the rebalanced industrial production index measured by the MOSPI, compared to the 4.1% annual growth in the previous month. Manufacturing production expanded by a sharper 6.2% in the period.
