India's Informal Manufacturing Sector Shows Downturn After GDP Rise

Recently, the Indian government said the economy grew faster than expected.

However, a new report shows that the small, informal businesses, especially those that make things, are having a tough time.

Fewer of these businesses are operating, and fewer people are working in them.

The good news is that more people are working for themselves in their own businesses.

This shift is particularly seen in manufacturing.

Even though the economy is growing overall, this report raises some concerns about these small businesses.
