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.
