CII Business Confidence Index Rises to 66 in Q2 Reflecting Economic Optimism
The Confederation of Indian Industry's Business Confidence Index (BCI) rose to 66.0 in Q2FY27, marking a multi-quarter high and reflecting strong economic momentum in India. This increase follows a 7.8% GDP growth in Q1FY27 and improved manufacturing and services output. The optimism is driven by expectations of better operating conditions, stronger domestic demand, and potential Reserve Bank of India rate cuts. The survey, covering over 240 companies, highlights a positive outlook despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainties.
