On a month-on-month basis, output rose 5.4 per cent in July, after growing 1.5 per cent in June.

The data released by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade on Tuesday revealed that the output of core sectors had registered a 7.6-per cent decline in July 2020 due to Covid-19-related restrictions.
