Coal sector records highest growth of 11.6% among eight core industries
The Coal Ministry said the index of the coal industry reached 212.1 points during February 2024 as compared to 190.1 points during the same period of last year.
The output of India's eight infrastructure industries in November 2016 increased by 4.9 per cent, as compared to the same month of 2015, on the back of higher production of coal, oil, steel and electricity, official data showed on Monday.
Reflecting some impact of the government's November 8 demonetisation measure, however, the Index of Eight Core Industries (ECI) growth slowed down sequentially, as compared to the rate of 6.6 per cent logged in October 2016.
