Hope India's industrial growth sustains: Montek Singh Ahluwalia

The deputy chairman of India's planing commission said on Friday he hoped the momentum in the country's industrial output would be sustained in coming months.                                        

"To get a growth rate well above 10% is just not a base effect. There is an element of growth that is taking place which I hope will be sustained," Montek Singh Ahluwalia told reporters.                                           

India's industrial output rose 10.3% in October from a year earlier, matching market forecast, helped by stimulus measures and robust domestic demand, data showed on Friday.
