India's HSBC Manufacturing PMI eased to 54.2 in June 2026 from 55.0 in May, revised lower from the preliminary reading of 54.5, signaling the second-weakest improvement in factory activity since mid-2022. Growth in output and new orders slowed to among the weakest rates in four years, while export orders rose at the softest pace since March 2023 amid subdued demand from some European markets. Softer demand also led to slower increases in purchasing activity, employment, and input inventories, while finished goods stocks fell at the fastest pace in six months as firms aligned production with current demand. Cost pressures eased, with input price inflation slowing to a four-month low and output charge inflation easing to a three-month low, reducing the need for aggressive price increases. Meanwhile, supplier delivery times improved only marginally, and business confidence slipped to a five-month low as concerns over demand and market conditions weighed on the outlook. source: S&P Global

India Manufacturing PMI
The HSBC India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index measures the performance of the manufacturing sector and is derived from a survey of 500 manufacturing companies. The Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index is based on five individual indexes with the following weights: New Orders (30 percent), Output (25 percent), Employment (20 percent), Suppliers’ Delivery Times (15 percent) and Stock of Items Purchased (10 percent), with the Delivery Times index inverted so that it moves in a comparable direction. A reading above 50 indicates an expansion of the manufacturing sector compared to the previous month; below 50 represents a contraction; while 50 indicates no change.

New orders continued to rise but at a weaker pace, with firms citing competitive pressures and subdued domestic and export demand. Export orders grew at the slowest pace since March 2023. Employment rose only marginally, marking the weakest hiring pace in six months, as manufacturers adjusted staffing to softer demand conditions. Backlogs of work were broadly stable. Purchasing activity also increased at its slowest pace in two-and-a-half years, prompting a softer increase in stocks of purchases and an outright decline in inventories of finished products.

India Manufacturing Growth Revised Upward
India’s HSBC Manufacturing PMI rose to 55.0 in May 2026, a three-month high, from 54.7 in April, and was revised higher from the flash estimate of 54.3. Growth was driven by faster gains in new orders, output and purchasing, led by domestic demand as exports softened. Sales were supported by intermediate and capital goods amid infrastructure spending and new business wins. Manufacturers increased input buying on stockpiling needs, while pre-production inventories rose as supply conditions improved and delivery times shortened. Finished goods stocks also rose to an 11-year high as supply outpaced demand. Employment rose more slowly, while backlogs edged higher. On prices, input costs climbed sharply on higher energy, fuel, materials and transport costs linked to geopolitical tensions. Output price inflation remained more moderate as firms limited pass-through. Business confidence stayed positive, supported by strong order pipelines and easing cost expectations.
