India’s industrial production grew at 4 per cent in August, mainly due to better performance by the mining sector, according to government data released Monday.

The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growth rate for July has been revised upwards to 4.3 per cent from the earlier estimate of 3.5 per cent. In August 2024, the IIP recorded flat growth.

“With the mining sector growth at 6 per cent, the All India Index of Industrial Production (IIP) recorded a 4 per cent year-on-year growth in August 2025,” the National Statistics Office (NSO) said.

The mining sector output in August 2024 had shrunk by 4.3 per cent.

The manufacturing sector, which accounts for more than three-fourths of the index, expanded by 3.8 per cent in August this year, up from 1.2 per cent in the year-ago month.
