Indian manufacturing activity declines in month of July

03 Aug 2020 Evaluate
Indian manufacturing activity declined in the month of July, as demand conditions remained subdued with some businesses still closed amid lockdown extensions. As per the survey report, the Nikkei India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) - a composite single-figure indicator of manufacturing performance - fell to 46 in July as against 47.2 in June.

The report said that the downturn was partially driven by a further contraction in output. Although far softer than recorded in April and May, the rate of reduction accelerated from June and was sharp overall. Further, deteriorating demand conditions led Indian manufacturers to continue cutting staff numbers during July. The rate of workforce contraction was little-changed from June and faster than any recorded prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On the price front, manufacturers reported another decrease in input prices during July. However, the rate of reduction was modest and the slowest in the current four-month sequence of falling costs. Meanwhile, despite current operating conditions continuing to deteriorate, manufacturers were increasingly optimistic regarding future activity. Sentiment towards the 12-month business outlook improved for the second month in a row to reach a five-month high.
