India's infrastructure output witnessed a concerning deceleration in April 2025, according to the latest data updated on May 20. The indicator dropped to a mere 0.5%, a significant decline from the 3.8% recorded just a month prior in March 2025.
This data represents a Year-over-Year comparison, examining the change from the same month in the previous year. The slowdown is a stark indicator of the challenges currently facing India's infrastructure sector, which had previously shown more robust growth at the beginning of the year.
Economists suggest that this downturn could be attributed to a myriad of factors, including economic headwinds and delays in key infrastructure projects. As the nation grapples with these challenges, stakeholders are keenly monitoring policies and initiatives that may help stabilize and potentially rejuvenate growth in the coming months.
