NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's manufacturing output grew by 8.4 percent in the quarter to March, but farming retreated by 1.4 percent, government data showed on Friday.
The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promoted a campaign to "Make in India" and encourage labour-intensive manufacturing, but has faced opposition in rural areas where the farm economy has suffered lower prices.
