CEMENT, STEEL REGISTER SOLID GROWTH; OIL, GAS, ELECTRICITY SHRINK
THE INFRASTRUCTURE SECTORS' growth improved to 1.8% year-on-year in November as four components of the index of eight core industries (ICI) recorded positive growth.
The core sector growth had declined to 0.1% in October.
The output of coal, cement, steel and fertilisers marked expansion in November while refinery products, natural gas, crude oil and electricity contracted. In November 2024, the ICI had expanded 5.8%, constituting a rather strong base.
