Tea production in March jumped 11 per cent from a year earlier to 52.49 million kg due to higher plucking in top producing Assam state, the state-run Tea Board said on Thursday.
Production in the north-eastern state rose 53.2 per cent from a year earlier to 14.37 million kg, the board said in a statement.
The world's second biggest tea producer exports CTC (crush-tear-curl) grade mainly to Egypt, Pakistan and the UK, and the orthodox variety to Iraq, Iran and Russia.
