India, Aug. 1 -- India's manufacturing sector witnessed robust growth in July, with activity rising to a 16-month high of 59.1, driven by strong increases in new orders and output amid favorable demand conditions, according to a monthly survey released on Friday.

In PMI terms, a reading above 50 indicates expansion, while a score below 50 reflects contraction.
