The PMI survey said that new orders, outputs and input purchases have risen at the sluggish rates since May, while job creation has returned to a one-year low. (Reuters) Summary The decline in the head index can be a one-time, as manufacturers are confident that GST cuts will increase domestic demand. And while the demand from other countries can compensate a decline in US demand, it is too early to celebrate the increase in exports. Business activities in the manufacturing sector in India have lost a little momentum. The seasonally adjusted HSBC India Manufacturing Purchase Managers Index (PMI) hit a four-month low of 57.7 in September of 59.3 in August. The PMI survey said that new orders, outputs and input purchases have risen at the sluggish rates since May, while job creation has returned to a one-year low. The drop in the head index is perhaps a one -time, as manufacturers are confident that the reduction in taxes on goods and services (GST) will increase domestic demand. Thus, businesses indicate the forecast forecasts for the coming year. The future output index, a sub-index of the PMI measuring business confidence, reached a peak of seven months in September. It is likely that consumers have delayed the purchases until the manufacturers have passed the GST cuts through lower prices. Thus, the demand is expected to return after the run -up to the festive season. More non-American demand on the other hand, the export question has offered a little pillow with the PMI’s new export order index rising in September from August. There was a collection in the growth of international orders, as Indian manufacturers saw improvements in the demand of Asia, Europe, the Americas and the Middle East. In the midst of rates, the demand from outside the US may compensate a decline in US demand, but it is too early to celebrate. Nomura’s leading index of the total export of Asia-Japan (Neli) dropped in October from 92.2 in September to 91.9, led by the weakening of the import question from China and a moderation in PMIs for China and other emerging markets. Neli has a three -month lead. “The actual export growth of Asia is already cooling down due to the repayment of the tariff-driven preload, the impact of rates and uncertainty over the high policy that delays non-AI Capex spending,” the Nomura Research report on September 29. The effects of US rates and a slowdown in demand for durable goods in China can further delay the growth of Asian exports. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) kept the Repo rate unchanged at 5.5% on Wednesday. In the midst of tariff problems, RBI has revised its FY26 gross domestic growth in the product to 6.8% from 6.5%. “Further rate cuts will depend on whether India and the US reach a trade agreement and how consumption responds to GST reduction,” said Gaura Sen Gupta, IDFC First Bank economist. If the two countries strike a trade agreement, there will be less necessity for further rate cuts, she added.
