NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's industrial output in December rose 2.4 percent from a year earlier, slightly higher than forecast, government data showed on Tuesday.
A Reuters poll of economists had predicted growth of 2.0 percent for December.
December's growth was much faster than a downwardly revised 0.3 percent year-on-year increase in November, the data showed.
