India's services sector expands at fastest pace in 10 years in Oct

India's services sector activity expanded at the strongest pace in ten-and-a-half years in October, driven by a substantial upturn in business activity amid favourable demand conditions, a monthly survey said on Wednesday.

Companies indicated that a notable pick-up in new business led to the fastest expansion in output in over a decade and as a result more jobs were created, even though business confidence remained subdued due to growing inflationary concerns.

The seasonally adjusted India Services Business Activity Index rose from 55.2 in September to 58.4 October, signalling the in strongest rate of growth in ten and-a-half years.
