India’s services sector activity contracts in September

04 Oct 2019 Evaluate

India’s services sector activity contracted in the month of September 2019, on the back of lackluster client demand, competitive pressures and challenging market conditions. As per the survey report, the seasonally adjusted Nikkei Services Business Activity Index eased to 48.7 in September from 52.4 in August. Further, the Nikkei India Composite PMI Output Index -- which measures both manufacturing and services - also fell to 49.8 in September as against 52.6 in August.

As per the report, the Services Business Activity Index posted inside contraction territory for the first time in three months. New work intakes contracted in September, following an 18-month sequence of expansion. However, Indian services companies were able to secure new work from external markets. The increase in international orders was the seventh in consecutive months, with growth accelerating from August.

On the price front, input prices increased further, on account of higher food, medicine and transport costs. But, the rate of inflation eased to the weakest in over two-and-a-half years and was negligible in the context of historical survey data. Further, prices charged for the provision of services continued to increase in September. The rate of inflation was moderate and little-changed from August, but outpaced that seen for input costs.
