Industrial growth to stay high: Study

Industrial growth is expected to remain buoyant but it would depend on external demand, Institute of Economic Growth's monthly report on the country's economy has said.

The index of industrial production is expected to grow at 9.2 per cent over the next three months, according to the report.

The present positive sentiments in the economy and growing external demand as reflected in the high export growth have contributed to high growth in the industrial sector, says the Monthly Monitor.

However, the sustenance of this growth would depend heavily on external demand besides other domestic factors, it says, adding that inflation will rise marginally.
