This Week’s Spotlight Story

A deep dive into the headline that defined market conversations.

Indian Private Sector Growth Receded In July As Inflationary Pressures Intensify

S&P Global released the HSBC Flash India PMI® data for July 2026, revealing the weakest expansions in private sector sales and output since early 2022. The Flash India PMI Composite Output Index dropped to 54.3 in July, down from 57.1 in June, indicating the slowest pace of expansion in private sector activity since March 2022. This moderation was primarily centred on the service economy, where the Services PMI Business Activity Index retreated substantially to 53.1 from 57.4 in June, marking the weakest rate of expansion in 53 months. Concurrently, the Manufacturing PMI decreased slightly to 53.9 from June’s 54.2 print.

Growth was hindered by increasingly challenging market conditions, competitive pressures, order cancellations, reduced client enquiries, and shortages of key raw materials. Despite this, new export orders rose at a stronger pace across both manufacturing and services, marking the most pronounced upturn in international sales since March. On the price front, charge inflation accelerated, pushing the aggregate rate of increase in output prices to its fastest since April, as input costs rose more quickly. While private sector employment continued to rise, marking a seven-month sequence of job growth, overall business confidence retreated to a six-month low.

That’s a wrap for this week.
