At the same time, manufacturing output gained 0.4 percent but slightly slower than the 0.3 percent increase seen a month ago. Economists had forecast a faster growth of 1.3 percent rise.

Mining and quarrying output logged a monthly fall of 5.8 percent, while construction output grew 2.9 percent in April.
