Sept industrial output growth slows to 3.6 percent

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's annual industrial output grew at a slower-than-expected pace of 3.6 percent in September, dampened by a slower expansion in the mining sector, government data showed on Thursday.

A survey of economists by Reuters had estimated industrial output would grow 4.7 percent in September compared with a downwardly revised 6.3 percent growth in August.
