The HSBC India Services PMI was revised slightly higher to 53.3 in July 2026 from the preliminary estimate of 53.1 but remained well below June's final reading of 57.4. Still, the latest reading signaled the weakest expansion in business activity since early 2022, as output and new order growth slowed amid softer demand, competitive pressures, and fewer new enquiries. New business inflows rose at the weakest pace since February 2022. However, new export orders remained a bright spot, accelerating on stronger demand from the UAE, UK, and US. Employment improved modestly, with service providers adding to payrolls at a faster pace after job creation slowed to a six-month low in June. On the price front, input cost inflation eased to its lowest since January, though selling charges rose at the fastest pace since April, pushing output price inflation higher. Lastly, business confidence weakened to a seven-month low despite expectations of improved demand and market conditions. source: S&P Global
