Nov infrastructure output hits 5-month high of 6.7 percent

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's annual infrastructure output growth accelerated to a five-month high of 6.7 percent in November, driven by higher production of cement and refinery products, government data showed on Wednesday.

The output expanded 6.3 percent year-on-year in October.

The infrastructure sector, which comprises coal, crude oil, oil refining, natural gas, steel, cement, electricity and fertilisers, accounts for 37.9 percent of India's industrial output.
