India's manufacturing PMI soared to 58.1 in March, an eight-month high, fueled by robust demand. Strong new orders and optimism for future output underscore the sector's health.

India Manufacturing Growth: March PMI Peak

India's manufacturing PMI soared to an eight-month high of 58.1 in March, driven by robust new orders and strong demand. The sector's growth leads to optimistic forecasts for future output.

March manufacturing surge in India: PMI hits 8-month high

India's manufacturing PMI surged to 58.1 in March, marking an eight-month high due to strong demand. The New Orders Index fueled growth, prompting firms to boost production and draw down inventories.

India's manufacturing sector growth rose to an eight-month high in March, driven by quicker increases in factory orders and production amid buoyant demand conditions, a monthly survey said on Wednesday.
The seasonally adjusted HSBC India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) was at 58.1 in March, up from 56.3 in February, indicating a substantial improvement in the health of the sector that was above its long-run average.
In February, India's manufacturing PMI fell to a 14-month low amid softer increase in new orders and production.
In PMI parlance, a print above 50 means expansion, while a score below 50 denotes contraction.
Manufacturing sector growth in India recovered the ground lost in February, largely driven by a stronger contribution from its largest sub-component: the New Orders Index.
"March saw total sales expand to the greatest extent since July 2024, with companies remarking on positive customer interest, favourable demand conditions and successful marketing initiatives," the survey noted.
Accordingly, firms scaled up production volumes at the end of the 2024/25 fiscal year. The rate of expansion was sharp, above its historical average and the strongest in eight months.
Although new export orders continued to increase strongly in March, the pace of growth retreated to a three-month low. Panellists cited gains from Asia, Europe and the Middle East in terms of international sales.
"Although international orders slightly slowed, overall demand momentum remained robust, and the new orders index recorded an eight-month high of 61.5. Strong demand prompted firms to tap into their inventories, causing the fastest drop in finished goods stocks in over three years," said Pranjul Bhandari, Chief India Economist at HSBC, said.
Buoyant demand led companies to tap into their inventories to meet increased client appetite, resulting in the most rapid decline in finished goods stocks since January 2022.
The survey participants underpinned upbeat forecasts for output levels in the coming 12 months on favourable demand conditions, better customer relations and projects pending approval.
"Going ahead, business expectations remained fairly optimistic, with around 30 per cent of survey participants foreseeing greater output volumes in the year ahead, compared to less than 2 per cent that anticipate a contraction," Bhandari said.
The HSBC India Manufacturing PMI is compiled by S&amp;P Global from responses to questionnaires sent to purchasing managers in a panel of around 400 manufacturers.&nbsp;

India’s manufacturing sector growth fell to an 8-month low in September, with the PMI dropping to 56.5 from 57.5 in August. Slower export demand, rising input costs, and weaker profit margins have affected growth and hiring.

India's Manufacturing Sector Growth Drops To An 8-Month Low: PMI Slips To 56.5  In September

India&rsquo;s manufacturing sector growth fell to an 8-month low in September, with the PMI dropping to 56.5 from 57.5 in August. Slower export demand, rising input costs, and weaker profit margins have affected growth and hiring.

India's manufacturing sector growth fell to an eight-month low in September amid softer increase in factory production, sales and new export orders, a monthly survey said on Tuesday.
The seasonally adjusted HSBC India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell from 57.5 in August to 56.5 in September, registering the weakest pace of growth since January.
In PMI parlance, a print above 50 means expansion, while a score below 50 denotes contraction.
"Momentum in India's manufacturing sector softened in September from the very strong growth in the summer months.
"Output and new orders grew at a slower pace, and the deceleration in export demand growth was especially evident as the new export orders PMI was the lowest since March 2023," Pranjul Bhandari, Chief India Economist at HSBC, said.
The September PMI data revealed a mild setback in manufacturing growth across India. For the third straight month, rates of expansion in factory production and sales receded. Moreover, international orders rose at the slowest pace in a year-and-a-half.
On the price front, there were moderate increases in input costs and selling charges.
As a result of rising purchasing prices, as well as greater labour costs and favourable demand conditions, Indian manufacturers marginally increased their charges in September.
According to Bhandari, input prices rose at a faster rate in September, while factory gate price inflation eased, intensifying the compression on manufacturers' margin.
"Weaker profit growth might have an impact on companies' hiring demand, as the pace of employment growth slowed for a third month," Bhandari noted.
Hiring growth also receded in September, reflecting a reduction in the number of part-time and temporary workers.
Going ahead, the overall level of business confidence fell to its lowest since April 2023. Around 23 per cent of Indian manufacturers forecast output growth in the year ahead, while the remaining firms predict no change.

As the rate of inflation eases to the lowest in 40 months along with the strengthening client demand and more favourable input supply, the Manufacturing PMI for November has risen to 56

November manufacturing PMI rises to 56 as inflationary pressure retreat

<h2>As the rate of inflation eases to the lowest in 40 months along with the strengthening client demand and more favourable input supply, the Manufacturing PMI for November has risen to 56</h2>

Manufacturing PMI:&nbsp;The manufacturing sector has continued to do well in November with PMI rising to 56. After slowing a bit in October, the growth gathered pace as strengthening client demand and more favourable input supply boosted production volumes.&nbsp;
A reading of over 50 indicates expansion, while that of below 50 denotes contraction.
<h3>Inflationary pressure retreat</h3>
The inflationary pressure has retreated as the rise in purchase cost was modest in the month. This compared to the series of price rise that started in August 2020. Although average purchasing costs rose again, the rate of inflation eased to the lowest in the current 40-month sequence of increases.

The rise in cost has translated into increased selling prices. Pollyanna De Lima, Economics Associate Director at S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence noted that Firms' ability to secure new business, both domestically and from abroad, remained central to the success of the sector
As per PTI, the strong performance of the manufacturing sector is expected to continue in 2024 as well.&nbsp;

India's manufacturing PMI expands to 57.2 in April indicating expansion in manufacturing activity for the 22nd consecutive month

India's manufacturing PMI has expanded to 57.2 in April from 56.4 in March. This comes as the 22nd month of manufacturing PMI remaining above 50.
A PMI reading of above 50 indicates expansion in manufacturing and below represents contraction. &ldquo;Several indices pointed to more favourable operating conditions across India's manufacturing industry in April. Factory orders and production rose at the strongest rates in 2023 so far, companies stepped up input purchasing owing to stock-replenishment efforts," said&nbsp; S&amp;P Global's survey.
As per Business Standard, holdings of finished products decreased in April and the pace of depletion was moderate, though the fastest in four months. Wherever a contraction was signaled, monitored firms mentioned that sales had been fulfilled from warehoused items.
As per S&amp;P Global, Factory order and production rose at the strongest rates in 2023 so far. More jobs were created and more companies stepped up input purchasing owing to stock-replenishment efforts.&nbsp;

 Foxconn plans $700m investment in new plant to increase iPhone production in India

&nbsp;Foxconn plans $700m investment in new plant to increase iPhone production in India

Foxconn Technology Group, an Apple partner, reportedly plans to invest approximately $700 million in a new plant in Karnataka, India, to increase local production of iPhone parts. The plant is expected to be located near the Bangalore airport on a 300-acre site and may also assemble Apple's handsets, while some parts for Foxconn's electric vehicle business may also be produced there.
This investment by Foxconn is one of the biggest single outlays to date in India and reflects a growing trend of shifting manufacturing away from China due to Washington-Beijing tensions. The new production site is expected to generate around 100,000 jobs. The Indian government sees this investment as an opportunity to bridge the technology gap between India and China as Western investors and corporations begin to avoid Beijing's private sector crackdowns. &nbsp;
