India's core sector growth slowed to 3% in September 2025, from 6.5% in August, due to weak refinery products, natural gas, and crude oil output. Steel and cement production rose 14.1% and 5.3% respectively, while coal production fell 1.2%. Core sector growth averaged 2.9% in the first half of FY26, down from 4.3% last year.
