India's industrial output rises 6.7% in November led by manufacturing

New Delhi [India], December 29 (ANI): The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) recorded a 6.7 per cent year-on-year growth in November 2025, driven by 8 per cent growth in the manufacturing sector, the data released by the Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation (MoSPI) said on Monday.
The growth is led by the manufacture of basic metals and fabricated metal products, pharmaceuticals and motor vehicles, it added.
Growth in the Mining sector at 5.4 per cent has also rebounded due to the closure of the monsoon season and strong growth in metallic minerals such as Iron ore. The growth rate for Electricity was recorded at (-)1.5 per cent.
