Financial News: Indian Manufacturing Growth Strongest In 14 Months

Indian Manufacturing Growth Strongest In 14 Months

07/01/2025 - 03:22:00 (RTTNews)

(RTTNews) - India's manufacturing activity expanded at the quickest pace in more than a year in June amid faster expansions in employment, output, and sales, data compiled by S&P Global showed on Tuesday.

The HSBC final manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index rose to 58.4 in June from 57.6 in May. The flash reading was also 58.4. A score above 50.0 indicates expansion.

Output grew at the fastest pace in fourteen months, spurred by efficiency gains, favorable underlying demand, and greater sales volumes.

New orders logged the strongest growth in nearly a year on the back of marketing efforts and a substantial rise in exports. The rise in international sales was the third highest in the survey history.

The combined effect of rising outstanding business volumes and robust sales encouraged firms to raise their employment levels at a survey record pace.

On the price front, input price inflation slowed to a 4-month low despite higher costs for iron and steel. However, selling prices rose markedly.

Strengthening demand conditions also resulted in the spike in purchasing activity and input stocks.
