India's July industrial output grows 6.6 percent

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's industrial output in July grew 6.6 percent from a year earlier, helped by a rise in the sales of consumer durables ahead of festive season, government data showed on Wednesday.

The figure was in line with the forecast in a Reuters poll of economists and compares with a revised 6.9 percent year-on-year increase in June.
