India, Aug. 6 -- Germany's factory orders logged a stronger-than-expected growth in June but the expansion was driven by large scale orders, data from Destatis revealed Thursday.

Factory orders increased 3.1 percent on a monthly basis in June, faster than economists' forecast of 0.5 percent. However, the monthly increase for May was revised down sharply to 0.3 percent from 1.9 percent.

Excluding large scale orders, new orders dropped 0.5 percent from the previous month.
