India's Manufacturing PMI Rises to Seven-Month High on Stronger Demand in September
India's manufacturing sector rebounded sharply in September, with the HSBC India Manufacturing PMI rising to 55.1, its highest in seven months. Growth was driven by stronger domestic and international demand for electronics, food, pharmaceuticals, and textiles. New orders and export demand increased, prompting higher production, inventory buildup, and resumed hiring at the fastest pace since May. Business confidence improved, although input cost inflation rose moderately. The PMI reading ended a three-month slowdown, signaling renewed momentum in factory activity.
