This growth is also driven by a strengthening investment cycle, which is boosting production levels. However, the sector may face challenges from rural areas, where a poor monsoon season may lead to lower consumption and demand. Despite this, the overall outlook for manufacturing remains positive, with sectors like electrical equipment and transport showing significant growth.
