India's manufacturing sector activity rose to a 16-month high in July on expansion in output and new orders, a private survey showed on Friday. However, business confidence fell to its lowest level in three years due to concerns over competition and inflation.

The HSBC India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), compiled by S&P Global, rose to 59.1 in July, up from 58.4 in June. A reading above 50 indicates expansion. "Firms bought extra inputs to broadly the same extent as June, however, whilst job creation receded to the weakest since November 2024. Meanwhile, business confidence retreated to its lowest level in three years," the survey said.

DO TAX CUTS REALLY BOOST THE ECONOMY?

Tax cuts are to fiscal policy what rate cuts are to monetary policy-both are tools to stimulate economic growth. This has been a bumper year for tax cuts: in February the Union Budget raised the exemption limit for income tax, and in August GST rates were cut across a swathe of goods and services.
