NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's infrastructure output grew an annual 5.2 percent in June, its fastest pace in two months, driven by a surge in output of cement, coal and electricity, government data showed on Monday.
The output expanded 5.4 percent from a year ago between April and June.
Cement production surged 10.3 percent year-on-year in June, faster than a 2.4-percent rise a month ago. Coal output expanded 12 percent year-on-year compared with a 5.5 percent growth in May.
Production of electricity rose 8.1 percent on year in June from 4.6 percent growth a month ago.
