Core sector growth eases marginally to 8% in July.

India’s core sector registered an 8% growth in July, compared with 8.3% in the previous month, as all eight sectors recorded a positive growth for the first time in 14 months, according to data released Friday.

While the continuation of government capex (both centre and states) in July led to a strong performance in steel and cement sectors, economists noted that the growth in cement and electricity sector, despite seasonal rains, indicated a progression of economic activity.
