HSBC India Services PMI Details
The HSBC India Services Purchasing Managers’ Index declined to 60.9 in August from 60.3 in July. This reading marks its lowest level in ten months.
While the index remains well above the 50-point threshold separating growth from contraction, the dip reflects a slight moderation in the expansion pace. The sector maintains strong momentum driven by healthy demand and steady new business influx.
Inflationary Pressures and Corporate Response
