September 04, 2025

Strong momentum The index has now remained above the 50-point threshold for over four years.

- Rhik Kundu

India's service sector saw its strongest growth in 15 years in August, driven by a surge in demand and new business, according to a private survey released on Wednesday.

The HSBC India Services Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), compiled by S&P Global, climbed to 62.9 in August, up from 60.5 in July and 60.4 in June. This marks the fastest growth since June 2010. The index has now remained above the 50-point threshold, which separates growth from contraction, for over four years, highlighting the sector's sustained momentum.

The rise in international sales was the third-strongest since the series began in 2014. This robust demand led to services firms hiring more workers, although outstanding business only rose marginally.

Trump tariffs: What the echoes of Smoot-Hawley tell us

India's bilateral trade with the US reached $132 billion in 2024-25. In just five months of 2025-26, India notched up about half of last year's number. That momentum now faces disruption: Washington currently has a 50% extra tariff on imports of Indian goods after the rate was doubled in late August. The question is not only whether this will benefit the US economy, but also how it will reshape India's trade strategies and the global system.
