The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its latest quarterly ‘Services and Infrastructure Outlook Survey for Q4:2024-25’ has stated that services firms expect improvement in overall business situation and turnover in Q1:2025-26. The survey report also noted that the job landscape is also expected to expand but cost pressures are likely to increase in Q1:2025-26.
For Q2:2025-26 and Q3:2025-26, services firms expect sequential improvement in their turnover and overall business situation. Respondents remain optimistic on employment conditions till Q3:2025-26. Input cost pressures are likely to persist in near term and consequently selling prices are also expected to remain at an elevated level.
Further, the survey report said that infrastructure firms expressed improvement in overall business situation and their turnover and reported higher cost pressures with concomitant rise in selling prices and profit margins in Q4:2024-25 vis-a-vis the previous quarter. Infra firms anticipate further rise in cost pressures in Q1:2025-26 with improved growth in selling prices and profit margins.
