NEW DELHI, January 13 – BUSINESS STANDARD – Industrial production growth rebounded to 5.9 per cent in November after a sharp contraction of 4.7 per cent in the preceding month, prompting finance minister Pranab Mukherjee to exude confidence that industry may deliver a better performance in the months to come. The finance ministry said the policy focus would be adjusted to build on the strong industrial growth to ensure higher capital goods production and investments. Industry chambers Ficci and CII said there were roadblocks in the way of sustainable industrial growth as both capital goods and chemicals continued to be in the negative territory and suggested the government focus on big infrastructure projects to propel economic expansion. – BUSINESS STANDARD – According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance renewable energy investment rose 5 % to a record $260 billion last year driven by a surge in solar developments and increased spending in the US.
