India's industrial production grew by 6.8% in January from a year earlier, easing concerns about a slowdown in its economy.
印度一月份工业生产较去年同期增长6.8%,缓解了经济增长缓慢的担忧。
The growth was led by an 8.5% expansion in the manufacturing sector1.
This comes just days after data showed India's economy grew by 6.1% in the last three months of 2011, its weakest pace in nearly three years.
A global slowdown and a series of interest rate rises aimed at reining2 in high prices have hurt India's growth.
On Friday, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cut the amount of money that banks must hold in reserve in a bid to encourage lending and boost growth.
The central bank reduced the cash reserve(现金储备) ratio to 4.75% from 5.5%.
That had prompted speculation3 that the central bank may cut its key interest rate when it meets to review its monetary4 policy later this week.
However, analysts5 said the better-than-expected industrial production numbers may prompt the bank to leave the cost of borrowing unchanged for now.
"This is much above people's expectations, but I don't think it will have an immediate6 impact on the RBI's rate decision," said Ashok Gautam of Axis7 Bank in Mumbai.
"The central bank is certainly going to wait for the budget and the government's borrowing programme for the next year and what is going to be the (fiscal) deficit8 number."
The government will present its budget for the next financial year on Friday, 16 March.
