Weak exports, rural distress, uncertainty over Lok Sabha poll outcome to drag down IIP: Report
As per the IIP data in January released by the Central Statistics Office (CSO), the growth in industrial production declined to 1.7 per cent as against 7.5 per cent a year ago, owing to subdued performance of the manufacturing sector, especially capital and consumer goods.
D&B expects the CPI inflation to be in the range of 2.6-2.8 per cent and the Wholesale Price Index-based inflation to be in the range of 3-3.2 per cent during March, respectively. Representational Image, source: Reuters
