India’s HSBC Composite PMI stood at 54.3 in August 2026, down slightly from the flash reading of 54.6 but unchanged from July’s reading. The latest result signalled a solid pace of private-sector growth, although it remained the joint-slowest in 4-1/2 years and below the historical trend. Despite accelerating from July, total sales growth remained subdued, with the rate of expansion the second-weakest since February 2022. Growth in goods production slowed, while service providers recorded a faster upturn. Aggregate employment increased at the fastest pace in 14 months, as robust hiring among service firms more than offset continued job shedding in manufacturing. Meanwhile, composite input-cost inflation eased to a seven-month low, although the pace of charge inflation accelerated to its strongest since April.
