India's August industrial output grows 4.3 percent

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's industrial output in August grew 4.3 percent from a year earlier, government data showed on Friday.

This was slower than a downwardly revised 6.5 percent year-on-year increase in July, due to a slowdown in capital goods production.

However, the figure was better than a forecast of 4.0 percent growth in a Reuters poll of economists.
