Infra growth halves in Oct (Business Standard 28th Dec 2007)
Fall in crude, refinery output leads drop
Core sector growth for October 2007 declined to 4.5 per cent from 9.9 per cent in the same month last year on account of a slowdown in five of the six sectors that form the core-infrastructure industries index.
