New Delhi [India], April 3 : India's manufacturing sector expanded in March and registered the quickest in three months at 56.4 during the month against 55.3 in February, according to S and P Global.According to S and P Global, India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose from 55.3 in February to 56.4 in March, signalling the strongest improvement in operating conditions in 2023 so far.S and P Global said, "India's manufacturing sector posted a remarkable performance at the end of the final fiscal quarter, as growth of factory orders and production quickened to the strongest in three months."It added with pressure on supply chains subsiding and raw material availability improving, input cost inflation retreated to its second-lowest mark in two-and-a-half years."Subsequently, goods producers concentrated on rebuilding their stocks. Robust increases in buying levels in recent months supported a near-record accumulation of input inventories in March," the report added.March data highlighted a further upturn in new business placed with Indian manufacturers. Moreover, the rate of expansion was sharp and the quickest in three months.Firms suggested that marketing efforts bore fruit. Demand resilience and competitive pricing were also cited as growth drivers, the report added.According to S and P Global, continuing the trend that has been recorded on a monthly basis for a year, new export orders rose in March. The rate of expansion quickened from February, though remained slight and historically subdued."Ongoing improvements in total sales volumes underpinned another increase in production," the report said, adding, "Output rose at the quickest pace since last December and one that outpaced its long-run average."Demand resilience also encouraged firms to rebuild their input inventories, the report said. "Stocks of purchases rose at a sharp rate that was one of the strongest seen in over 18 years of data collection," it added.Pollyanna De Lima, Economics Associate Director at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said: "Underlying demand for Indian goods remained strong in March, underscored by the quickest upturn in factory orders for three months. Hence, production continued to expand at a robust clip and firms stepped up their stock-building efforts.""Compes reported abundant capacity among themselves and their suppliers. Pending workloads expanded only marginally in March, hindering job creation. As for supply chains, improved availability of raw materials among vendors resulted in shorter delivery times and retreating price pressures. Overall, input costs rose at the second-slowest rate since September 2020," Pollyanna De Lima said.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
