NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's infrastructure sector output rose 4.5 percent year-on-year in February, mainly driven by higher electricity, oil refining and steel production, government data showed on Monday.
The sector grew 1.6 percent year-on-year in January.
In the first 11 months of the current fiscal year, the output grew an annual 2.6 percent, the data showed.
