India’s nine core sectors record 5% growth in June 2026, the fastest pace in five months, according to data compiled using a revised base year. Multiple outlets report that the revised index uses a 2022-23 base year and includes iron ore as an additional (ninth) sector. Analysts attribute the acceleration mainly to stronger performance in iron ore, along with higher output in sectors such as electricity and coal. At the same time, some components of the index decline: crude oil, natural gas, refinery products and fertiliser show lower production in June. Despite the mixed movements across individual sectors, the overall index rises to 5%, reflecting broad improvement relative to the prior months. The outlets converge on the same headline numbers—5% growth in June and a five-month high—while describing the same underlying methodological changes and the same leading contributors and drags within the nine-sector basket.
