NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's industrial output contracted 2.4 percent in July from a year earlier, mainly dragged down by lower production of capital goods and consumer non-durables, government data showed on Monday.
Economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast a 1.7 percent increase in output compared with a provisional 2.1 percent year-on-year expansion in June.
