- India's core sector output grew 5% in June 2026, the fastest pace in five months, according to new data from the ministry of industry and commerce.
- The figure is the first under a revised index series with a 2022-23 base year and nine industries instead of eight, with iron ore newly added.
- Growth was driven by iron ore, cement, and electricity, while fertilizer, refinery products, natural gas, and crude oil continued to contract.
- The report notes ongoing supply-side vulnerabilities linked to the West Asia conflict, especially for fertilizer inputs like imported LNG.
What to watch next
- Whether fertilizer production, still contracting year-on-year, fully recovers from the war-related shock
- Whether the easing refinery products contraction is linked to crude oil imports from West Asia
- The impact of Iran and the US ending the ceasefire memorandum on critical input supplies
