RBI Surveys Show Positive Demand Outlook Amid Cost Pressures for Q3FY27
The Reserve Bank of India's latest surveys indicate a positive demand outlook for India's manufacturing and services sectors in Q3FY27, with improvements in production, order books, and business confidence. However, both sectors face persistent cost pressures, with moderated optimism on selling prices and profit margins. Bankers also expect stronger credit demand across most sectors except agriculture, with loan terms largely unchanged. The outlook remains optimistic through Q4FY27 and Q1FY28 despite ongoing input cost concerns.
