New Delhi: India’s annual infrastructure output grew 4.7 per cent in October from a year ago, driven by higher refinery production, government data showed on Thursday.

During April-October, the annual output growth was 3.5 per cent, data showed.

Indian refiners processed a record 5.2 million barrels per day of oil in October to meet rising fuel demand, government data showed earlier this month.
