India's economy grew a faster than expected 5.8 percent in the March quarter from a year earlier, as a still strong services sector offset a decline in manufacturing.
The annual growth for India's fiscal fourth quarter was above a median forecast of 5.2 % in a Reuters poll, but sharply lower than the year-ago quarter's 8.6% expansion.
The manufacturing sector contracted 1.4% in the January-March quarter from a year earlier, while farm output grew an annual 2.7%, government data showed on Friday.
