India’s manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index shows a 7‑month peak, reflecting strong demand across sectors.
India’s latest PMI data reveals that factory growth has risen to a 7‑month high, underscoring a robust rebound in manufacturing activity.
The index, which tracks new orders, production, employment and supplier deliveries, climbed above the 50‑point threshold that signals expansion.
Analysts attribute the surge to a sharp increase in domestic and export orders, particularly in the electronics and automotive sectors.
The uptick suggests that the economy is gaining momentum, though the report cautions that supply chain constraints could temper sustained growth.
