India’s manufacturing sector strengthened in June 2026, with output growth rising to 7.8% month-over-month, up from 5.5% in May 2026. The latest figures, updated on 28 July 2026, signal a solid acceleration in industrial activity as the country moves into the second half of the year.
The data show that June’s performance not only maintained the expansion trend seen in May but also significantly improved on it, with the pace of growth picking up by 2.3 percentage points. On a month-over-month comparison basis, the “actual” reading reflects June’s change versus May, while the “previous” figure captures May’s change relative to April.
The continued rise in manufacturing output suggests improving momentum in India’s industrial base, with back-to-back monthly gains pointing to a more robust production environment heading into the coming months.
