Positive trend in industrial output is expected to continue,the plan panel Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia said on Wednesday.

Industrial output rose by a faster-than-expected 7.8 per cent in June from a year earlier,driven by higher demand for goods such as cars and increased mining activity.

The figure was higher than a forecast for an annual rise of 3.3 per cent in a Reuters poll of economists.

“I always expect the positive trend to continue,” he said.
