The Indian economy grew at its slowest pace in two-years, as the manufacturing and mining industries suffered.

Gross domestic product growth fell to 6.9% between July and September compared to the same period a year earlier, data showed.

Growth expanded at 7.7% in the previous three months.

A slew of interest rate increases aimed at reining in high prices have hurt industrial expansion in Asia's third largest economy.
