India's Core Sector Growth Slows Sharply in April

Imagine India's economy as a big machine.

In April, this machine slowed down a lot.

The important parts of the machine, like making fuel and electricity, didn't do as well as before.

Making fuel for cars and other things actually shrank.

Producing electricity grew much less than the month before.

However, some parts, like coal, did a bit better.

Overall, the machine's growth was much slower than in the previous month, indicating a possible dip in the economy's activity.
