India manufacturing sector eases to 54.7% in March

Orders were less due to power outages and raw material shortages.

HSBC said that India's manufacturing sector expanded at a slower clip in March, making output and new orders less fast.

In its report, HSBC said India's PMI eased to 54.7% in March compared to February at 56.6% Output meanwhile was at 56.3% vs. 60.5% in February.

New orders  grew at a slower clip at 58.1% vs. 62.8% in February while export orders accelerated at 55.6% vs. 53.9% in February.

Supply delivery meanwhile lengthened and backlogs of work rose underscoring the still tight capacity. Pick up in employment did not help sufficiently alleviate the capacity constraints.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
