NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's annual infrastructure output growth slowed to 1.9 percent in September, government data showed on Friday, hit by a fall in crude oil and gas production.

Output expanded 5.8 percent year-on-year in August. The sector, which comprises coal, crude oil, oil refining, natural gas, steel, cement, electricity and fertilisers, accounts for 37.9 percent of India's industrial output.
