New Delhi, Feb 28: The Economic Survey 2007-08 says that the 9.2 per cent growth achieved during April to November 2007 by the industrial sector, when seen against the backdrop of the robust growth during the preceding four years suggests that the buoyancy in this sector has continued, though with a degree of moderation.
The first eight months of the current fiscal witnessed a moderate slowdown in the growth of the industrial sector, which has mainly been on account of the manufacturing sector.
The mining and quarrying sector grew at a faster pace, while the growth in electricity remained unchanged from April-November 2006.
