India’s manufacturing sector strengthened in August 2026, with output growth rising to 9.0% on a month-over-month basis, up from 7.3% in July 2026. The latest figures, updated on 28 September 2026, indicate a continuing acceleration in industrial activity.
The current reading reflects a comparison of manufacturing output in August versus July, while July’s 7.3% rise was measured against June. The step-up in August suggests that the sector not only maintained its expansionary trend but did so at a faster pace, pointing to improving momentum in industrial production at the close of the summer period.
