India's infrastructure output expanded by 2% from the previous year in July of 2025, slowing slightly from the upwardly revised 2.2% increase in the previous month but still marking the eleventh straight month of expansion in the index. Growth was supported by the sustained pace of activity for steel (12.8% vs 9.7% in June) and cement (11.7% vs 8.2%), signaling the stronger appetite for construction materials. In turn, output rebounded for electricity (0.5% vs -1.2%) and fertilizers (2% vs -1.2%). On the other hand, production fell for refineries (-1% vs 3.4%), suggesting that the sector did not increase capacity ahead of increase tariff threats from the United States due to Indian refineries buying Russian oil. source: Office of the Economic Adviser to the Government of India

Indian Infrastructure Output Picks Up
India's infrastructure output expanded by 1.7% from the previous year in June of 2025, picking up from the upwardly revised 1.2% in the previous month to extend the acceleration since growth slowed to an eight-month low of 1% in April. The sharper pace of growth was supported by steel (9.2% vs 7.4% in May) and cement (9.2% vs 9.7%), aligned with the higher demand for construction inputs in Asia as Chinese policymakers vouched for a nation-wide cut in capacity, making Indian firms relatively more competitive. In turn, refiner products also expanded faster (3.4% vs 1.1%). On the other hand, output contracted for electricity (-2.8% vs -4.7%), coal (-6.8% vs 2.8%), and crude oil (-1.2% vs -1.8%).
