NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's industrial output unexpectedly rose 1.2 percent in May from a year earlier, led by a pick up in manufacturing, government data showed on Tuesday.
Economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast a 0.4 percent fall in output compared with a provisional 0.8 percent year-on-year fall in April.
