NEW DELHI: Back in the double-digit growth after two months, the industrial output in October rose by 10.8 per cent on back of healthy performance of sectors such as automobile, electronic goods and power.

It again entered the double-digit growth figure of 10.8 per cent in October, up from 10.1 per cent in the same month a year ago.
"The present growth rate of IIP (Index of Industrial Production) shows that revival of economic growth as started a year back is continuing", said Sripakash Jaiswal, Minister for Statistics and Programme Implementation.
The government attributed the rise in IIP to improved performance of the sectors such as ship building, power equipment and generators.
