NEW DELHI: Infrastructure sector grew at 3.2% in July, mainly because of improvement in performance of the energy sector, especially refinery output. However, the growth rate of the eight infrastructure sectors — coal, crude oil, natural gas, refinery products, fertilisers, steel, cement and electricity — was slower than the 5.2% recorded in June. The core sectors, which contribute 38% to the country’s total industrial production, had expanded by 1.3% in July last year.
