Festive Demand and Capital Expenditure Expected to Support India's Industrial Growth in H2 FY27
A Union Bank of India report forecasts that India's industrial activity in the second half of FY27 will be supported by festive demand and sustained public capital expenditure. Despite risks from unfavourable base effects, weak monsoon, and higher input costs, industrial production grew 6.8% in the first half of FY27, up from 4.4% last year. The report notes slowing growth in consumer durables but a revival in rural demand, with private capital expenditure and infrastructure output also contributing to investment momentum.
