3% in June, a 22-month high, as against 2.2% a year ago on account of strong expansion in manufacturing, electricity and gas supply in the month, due to low base effect and resilient domestic demand conditions in the face of prolonged crisis in West Asia and erratic monsoon.

Among the manufacturing sector, 19 out of 23 industries recorded growth in June, with electrical equipment industry having the highest growth (34%). Sectors like motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (17.5%), textiles (13.
