CARE Ratings Research Report

India’s core sector output grew by 8.9% in June 2021 against a contraction of 12.4% in June 2020, mainly on account of eased restriction and improved mobility coupled with low-base effect.

On a sequential basis, core sector output registered a marginal growth of 1.1% in June compared with May, which shows that economy is probably showing some initial signs of recovery.
