MeridStreet AI summary

India's core sector output growth slowed to a 3-month low of 4.8 percent in August. This slowdown was primarily due to a decline in the energy sectors, which have been contracting for several months now. The fertilizer production, in particular, has been in decline for the sixth consecutive month. Despite this, sectors like electricity and cement showed strong growth, indicating some resilience in the economy.
