India's Industrial Output Hits 2-Year High
India's factories and mines made a lot more stuff in November 2025 than they did last year.
The numbers showed a big jump, the biggest in two years!
Making things like metals, medicines, and cars helped the most.
But making electricity didn't do so well.
This means India is making more things, which is good for the country's economy.
The numbers from October were also a little better than first thought.
Overall, it's good news for India's factories and workers.
However, some experts think that new rules from other countries might make things a bit harder in the future.
India's industrial production grew by 6.7% in November 2025, the highest in two years.
Manufacturing sector expanded by 8%, with 20 out of 23 industry groups showing positive growth.
Mining output increased by 5.4%, while electricity generation declined by 1.5%.
Top contributors to growth were basic metals, pharmaceuticals, and motor vehicles.
Overall industrial production growth for April–November 2025 slowed to 3.3% compared to 4.1% in the same period last year.
