India's core industries grew 5% in June 2026, the highest in five months, driven by iron ore production surging 43.9% and electricity and cement output rising 9.8% each. This marks a significant increase from 3.2% in May and the strongest since January's 5.2% growth.
The revised Index of Core Industries now includes iron ore as the ninth sector, expanding the traditional eight. This growth may boost investor sentiment in related sectors, particularly Metals and Construction.
