Manufacturing PMI Eases to 3-Month Low
Mint New Delhi
|June 03, 2025
Companies in India's Manufacturing Sector Faced a Further Monthly Rise in Purchasing Prices in May
Manufacturing activity dropped to a three-month low in May as growth in new orders and output softened, a private survey said on Monday.
The HSBC India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), compiled by S&P Global, fell to 57.6 in May from 58.2 in April and 58.1 in March. India's manufacturing PMI was 56.3 in February and 57.7 in January. A reading above 50 indicates expansion.
"Although rates of increase in new orders and output retreated to three-month lows, they remained well above their respective long-run averages," the survey said.
"Panelists suggested that demand strength continued to support sales and production, though competition, inflation and the India-Pakistan conflict had reportedly weighed on growth," it added.
