Output in India's eight core infrastructure sectors, which constitute about 40 per cent of overall industrial production, grew 4.6 per cent in January, slightly slower than the revised 4.8 per cent growth recorded in December but still the second-highest increase in six months.
On a sequential basis, however, the Index of Core Industries (ICI) rose 2.4 per cent from December 2024 to 173, marking a 10-month high and the highest output level recorded so far in 2024-25. In comparison, core sector output had grown 4.2 per cent in January 2024.
