In India, infrastructure output refers to a combined index that measures the performance of Eight Core Industries: refinery production (weight: 28%), electricity generation (19.9%), steel production (17.9%), coal production (10.3%), crude oil production (8.9%), natural gas production (6.9%), cement production (5.4%) and fertilizers production (2.6%). Infrastructure accounts for nearly 40 percent of India's industrial output.

Latest Updates

India's infrastructure output expanded by 2% from the previous year in July of 2025, slowing slightly from the upwardly revised 2.2% increase in the previous month but still marking the eleventh straight month of expansion in the index. Growth was supported by the sustained pace of activity for steel (12.8% vs 9.7% in June) and cement (11.7% vs 8.2%), signaling the stronger appetite for construction materials. In turn, output rebounded for electricity (0.5% vs -1.2%) and fertilizers (2% vs -1.2%). On the other hand, production fell for refineries (-1% vs 3.4%), suggesting that the sector did not increase capacity ahead of increase tariff threats from the United States due to Indian refineries buying Russian oil.
