India's Manufacturing Growth Supported by Exports Amid Monsoon and Global Risks
India's manufacturing growth is expected to remain supported by exports and a strengthening investment cycle, despite challenges from a weak monsoon affecting rural demand, according to reports by ICICI Bank and Union Bank of India Research. Industrial production grew 8% year-on-year in August, with manufacturing expanding 9%. While rising power demand and government infrastructure spending boost capital expenditure, risks include higher input costs, global supply uncertainties, and a contraction in mining. Rural consumption shows signs of gradual recovery amid these mixed factors.
