India’s annual infrastructure output grew 4.0 percent in December from a year ago, government data showed on Wednesday.

The growth in output compares with an upwardly revised 7.4 percent year-on-year growth in November.

Infrastructure output, which comprises eight sectors such as coal, crude oil and electricity, accounts for nearly 40 percent of India’s industrial output.
