Industrial output dips 10.4% in July

New Delhi, September 11

Industrial production shrank by 10.4% in July, mainly due to lower output of manufacturing, mining and power generation sectors, official data showed on Friday.

Explaining the reasons behind the fall in the Index of Industrial Production, the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation said a large number of units were not operating from March-end due to the lockdown imposed to contain the spread of Covid. — PTI
