HSBC and S&P Global jointly announced that, after seasonal adjustment, Indias Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for April was revised down in the final reading. The index rose from 53.9 in March to 54.7, but came in below market expectations and the preliminary estimate of 55.9. The index signaled that the improvement in overall operating conditions was the second weakest in nearly four years.

Although new orders and output, the two major sub-indices, rebounded from March, their growth rates remained at the lowest levels in at least three and a half years. Companies indicated that advertising efforts and resilient demand supported sales and production, but competitive pressures, the Middle East conflict, and customer hesitation in approving quotations constrained growth. Export orders remained strong, expanding at the fastest pace in seven months, with clients from Australia, France, Japan, Kenya, Mainland China, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.

On prices, raw material costs such as aluminum, chemicals, fuel and rubber rose sharply amid the Middle East conflict. Input price inflation reached its highest level since August 2022, driving output price increases to a six-month high. Despite intensifying cost pressures, firms continued to expand headcount, with job creation at the fastest pace in ten months. The pace of purchasing activity growth slowed to the weakest in nearly two and a half years, while the increase in input inventories was the slowest in five years. Companies remained optimistic about the next 12 months, with confidence at the second highest level since November 2024, mainly on expectations of effective marketing efforts and approvals of pending projects.
