Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh on Thursday met leading industrialists and assured them that the government is determined to get back on the growth path.

The assurance came at a meeting of the Prime Minister's Council on Trade and Industry, attended by Ratan Tata, Mukesh Ambani, Sunil Mittal and Rahul Bajaj among others.

From the government side, Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma, Environment Minister Jayanti Natarajan along with Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia and PMEAC Chairman C Rangarajan took part in the discussion.

The meeting comes amid concerns over India's industrial output shrinking by 5.1 per cent in October after witnessing a sustained slowdown over the past few months.

The economic growth also slowed down to 6.9 per cent in the July-September period, the lowest over two years.
