India's Business Confidence Index Rises in Q2 FY27 Amid Global Tensions
India's Business Confidence Index (BCI) rose to 107.8 in Q2 FY27 from 99.8 in Q1, ending four quarters of decline amid ongoing global tensions, according to the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER). The survey of 502 firms across six cities showed improved expectations for economic conditions, financial position, investment climate, and capacity utilization. Despite the rebound, the BCI remains below last year's 142.6. Both MSMEs and large firms reported increased optimism in production, domestic sales, and exports.
