India's Private Sector Growth Slows to Lowest Level Since March 2022 in July PMI
India's private sector growth slowed to its weakest pace since March 2022 in July, with the HSBC Flash India Composite PMI falling to 54.3 from 57.1 in June. The slowdown was mainly driven by a sharp decline in services activity, which hit a 53-month low, while manufacturing showed relative resilience despite a slight easing. Export orders increased at the fastest pace since March, but rising input costs and inflationary pressures intensified. Employment grew modestly, and business confidence declined to a six-month low amid challenging market conditions.
