<h1>India's Industrial Output Grows 8.6% in April-Dec 2010; Manufacturing Sector Leads Despite Slowing in December.</h1> Industrial output in India grew by 8.6% during April-December 2010, driven primarily by the manufacturing sector, which saw a robust 9.1% growth. The capital goods and consumer durables segments were major contributors, accounting for 29% and 21% of the growth, respectively. Despite fluctuations, the manufacturing sector remained a key driver, although its growth slowed from 18% in April 2010 to 1% in December 2010 due to a higher base effect. Transport equipment, other manufacturing industries, and metal products experienced significant growth. Limited capacity expansion in core industries and infrastructure is constraining further growth.
