India’s infrastructure output growth strengthened in September 2026, with the year-over-year indicator rising to 7.9%, up from 4.8% in August 2026. The latest data, updated on 21 October 2026, highlights a notable acceleration in one of the country’s key economic barometers.

The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, measuring the change in infrastructure output for each month against the same month a year earlier. The “previous” reading of 4.8% reflected August’s performance versus August a year prior, while the current 7.9% reading captures September’s output against September of the previous year.

The sharper pace of growth in September suggests a strengthening momentum in India’s infrastructure sector as the third quarter of 2026 progressed, potentially signaling improving conditions in construction-related activity, logistics capacity, and core industrial demand.
