The S&P Global India Manufacturing was little-changed to 54.6 in May 2022 from 54.7 in April, compared to market consensus of 53.8. The latest reading marked the 11th straight month of expansion in the manufacturing sector, as both output and new orders grew at the same pace in the prior month, with new export orders rising to the fastest since April 2011, amid loosening of Covid-19 restrictions. At the same time, input purchasing rose sharply and the quickest since last November, with supplier delivery times further lengthening; and employment increased to the strongest since January. On the price side, input prices continued to rise due to higher prices in electronic components, energy, freight, foodstuff, metals and textiles. Meanwhile, output price inflation accelerated to an over eight-and-a-half years, as companies continued to transfer additional cost burdens to their clients. Finally, sentiment weakened to the second-lowest in just over two years on inflationary concerns. source: Markit Economics
