The slow growth in the eight core industries - cement, coal, crude oil, electricity, fertilisers, natural gas, refinery products and steel - is likely to be reflected in industrial output as well. These sectors have over 40% weight in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP). "We could expect IIP growth to be 2-3% this month. We do not expect any resurgence in consumer goods production this month and hence (growth) will be muted," said Madan Sabnavis, chief economist, Bank of Baroda.
