Breaking a five quarter slump, a rise in the manufacturing sector’s output pushed India’s growth rate higher to 6.3 percent during the second quarter of 2017-18, official data showed on Thursday, even as industry hailed the signs of economic recovery and the government said the twin impact of demonetisation and GST “are behind us”. On a sequential basis, the growth during the second quarter of the current fiscal was 6.3 percent, from 5.7 percent reported during the first quarter of 2017-18.
