India’s industrial output surges, services expand
Entities: India · Electrical equipment manufacturers · Shrikant Goyal · Indian manufacturing sector · Fitch Ratings
Overview
India’s industrial momentum continued through July 2026. The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) recorded a 7.3 % year‑on‑year rise in June, the strongest expansion in 23 months, driven by a 7.8 % surge in manufacturing and a 10.6 % jump in electricity and gas supply. Growth was broad‑based, with 19 of 23 manufacturing groups posting gains; electrical‑equipment, motor‑vehicle production and food‑product manufacturing together accounted for the bulk of the increase. Mining and quarrying edged up 1 % and water‑supply, sewerage and waste‑management rose 6.1 %.
India revised its industrial‑output methodology, replacing the Wholesale Price Index with an Output Producer Price Index as the deflator, aligning the IIP more closely with core‑industry weights. A parallel release showed Singapore’s factory output up 7.2 % in June, underscoring regional industrial strength.
Fitch Ratings used the June data to project a 9 % rise in aggregate revenue for rated Indian corporates in FY‑27, up from an estimated 5 % in FY‑26, citing higher natural‑resource prices and robust demand across core sectors. The agency warned of external risks such as renewed US‑Iran tensions, higher energy costs, El Niño and a weak monsoon. Analysts highlighted the need for continued financing support for MSMEs to sustain the current growth trajectory.
The broader services sector, tracked through the newly launched Index of Services Production, continued its rapid expansion, with double‑digit growth in accommodation, food services, retail trade and real estate, reinforcing the overall economic upswing.
