NEW DELHI: Growth in new export orders was the primary reason for the uptick in April.

Flash PMI values are released a few days ahead of the actual PMI numbers, and include 80%-90% of the responses used in the calculation of the final PMI readings. India became the eighth country to have a flash PMI indicator in January 2024.
