India witnessed a rebound in industrial production, recording a 3.1% growth in September 2024, following a slight contraction in the previous month. This recovery was attributed to enhancements across the mining, manufacturing, and power generation sectors.
In a statement by the National Statistics Office (NSO), it was highlighted that while September's growth was promising, it fell short of the 6.4% seen in September 2023. Aditi Nayar, ICRA's chief economist, noted that the broad-based improvement across various segments played a critical role in the September recovery.
Despite the positive trend, the capital goods segment witnessed a slower growth rate of 2.8% compared to the year-ago period. However, the production of consumer durables showed significant expansion, signaling positive signs for the upcoming festive season.
