India services PMI surges to 50.7 in September

Thanks to stronger demand and marketing campaigns.

India's services sector recovers from contractions as its Nikkei India Services PMI Business Activity Index grew from 47.5 in August to 50.7 in September.

According to IHS Markit, manufacturing output grew for the second consecutive month.

The Nikkei India Composite PMI Output Index rose from 49.0 to 51.1.

The combination of marketing campaigns and stronger demand conditions led to new business growth in September.

New work and business activity also rose for the first time in three months.

Moreover, factory output and orders rose, thanks to stronger domestic demand.

At the composite level, growth in new orders was only slight and weaker than the long-run trend.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
