Services sector activity in India rose to a three-month high in November on strong demand. The S&P Global India Services PMI business activity index rose to 56.4. It was 55.1 in October. The Services PMI is above 50 for the 16th consecutive month.

 

 

A PMI above 50 indicates expansion and a reading below it indicates contraction. Indian service providers continued to benefit from strong domestic demand, with a sharp increase in new business and production, said Pauliana de Lima, joint director of economics at S&P Global Market Intelligence. The growth rate is at a three-month high despite higher operating expenses. The fresh demand remains due to successful marketing and steady growth in sales, said, survey participants. Lima said employment has grown at a solid pace. Its pace has been the fastest in three years in November. The Composite PMI Manufacturing Index of S&P Global India stood at 56.7.
