The pace of growth in the country's manufacturing sector continued in February with new orders and production remain the same as in January. The seasonally adjusted S&P Global India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) stood at 55.3 in February, a marginal change from January's 55.4.

 

The PMI data for February pointed to improving overall operating conditions for the 20th consecutive month. In PMI parlance, a figure above 50 means expansion while a score below 50 indicates contraction.

 

India's manufacturing industry continued to post strong growth in production and new orders during the first half of the last fiscal, said a survey released on Wednesday. However, the rate of international sales expansion has slowed significantly.

 

Companies indicated only a mild strain on their operating capacities, with a slight increase in outstanding business in February and a marginal increase in the number of jobs.

 

According to the survey, 98 percent of the panellists reported no change in employment. Pauliana de Lima, associate director of economics at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said job creation failed to gain meaningful traction because firms did not have enough workers to meet current needs.
