Healthy demand conditions, new client wins, and stronger new business intakes supported this momentum. New orders rose at the quickest pace in six months, while export demand also grew, with gains from markets such as Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the UAE, and the UK.
Companies responded by increasing activity and adding jobs, though hiring remained limited to fewer than 7% of surveyed firms. Cost pressures persisted but eased to their lowest in four months, allowing selling prices to rise only moderately'the softest increase since January.
Consumer services stood out as the strongest performer, leading in both growth and inflation. Manufacturing also saw faster expansion, pushing the HSBC India Composite PMI Output Index up to 59.3 in May. Overall, optimism about future business activity remained positive, though confidence dipped slightly below the long-run trend.
