India's Services PMI Rises to Four-Month High as Cost Inflation Eases
India's services sector expanded at its fastest pace in four months in October, with the HSBC India Services PMI rising to 55.8 from 55.2 in September. Growth was driven by stronger domestic demand, new business orders, and successful advertising, while input cost inflation eased to its lowest level in over six years. Employment growth slowed to a four-month low, and export orders expanded at their weakest pace since February 2023. The Finance and Insurance sector led the expansion, with overall business conditions improving cautiously.
