In a continued demonstration of resilience, India's manufacturing sector recorded a modest improvement in May 2025, as reflected by the S&P Global Manufacturing PMI's slight rise to 58.3. This uptick from April's already robust 58.2 suggests that the sector is maintaining its momentum despite global economic uncertainties.
The data, which was updated on May 22, 2025, highlights the steady performance of India's manufacturers, who have managed to sustain production levels and demand. A PMI above 50 indicates expansion in the manufacturing sector compared to the previous month, and India's consistent increase presents a noteworthy trend in a global environment where many sectors face headwinds.
Experts believe that this steady growth can be attributed to factors including robust domestic demand and some improvements in export orders, despite challenges such as supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures. India's manufacturing sector continues to be a vital contributor to the country's economic stability, reinforcing its position as a significant player on the global manufacturing stage.
