Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index: India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index rose to 55.9 in October 2021, data compiled by IHS Markit revealed. This compared with 53.7 in the prior month signaling a recovery in factory production and activities. The report said the index reached the highest level in the last eight months, reversing the continuous decreases for the past four months.
Important components of the index showed growth during the latest reported month. This includes new export orders, business confidence, and input buying. On the negative side, employment data remained weak in the month. Similarly, the input cost was up in October, pushed by the prices of chemicals, fabric, electronic components, oil, plastic, and transportation costs.
