The automobile sector also did better business. Production continued in the coal mines and steel industries of the state even during the lockdown.

The increase in GST collections reflects the improving situation of industrial production as a whole of the country’s economy.

The report released on Monday by the economic think-tank NCAER shows that the country’s industry is also becoming more positive about the future. However, there is still a large section of the industry that is in doubt.

This index is 41 percent higher than the level of 46.4 recorded in April to June 2020. However, the index level is still much lower than in the second quarter of the last financial year.
