Thailand's manufacturing production index (MPI) in July rose 4.6% from a year earlier, helped by higher production of cars, sugar and electronics, the Industry Ministry said on Tuesday.
That compares with a 4.24% rise seen in a Reuters poll and June's 5.0% increase, which was revised up from 4.7% rise.
Capacity utilisation was 67.23% in July, after June's 69.04%.
