The index\u2019s continued stay above the 60-mark for the fourth straight month reflects robust business expansion and resilient demand conditions.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">The HSBC India Services Purchasing Managers\u2019 Index (PMI) came in at 60.9, easing from a 15-year high of 62.9 recorded in August, according to data released on October 6.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">The slowdown in services activity was milder compared to the manufacturing sector, where the PMI dipped to a four-month low of 57.7 from 59.3 in August. Economists said services remain a key growth driver for India\u2019s economy, even as global trade challenges weigh on manufacturing exports.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">At the Kautilya Economic Conclave (October 3\u20135), global experts highlighted that IT, financial services, and digital platforms will play a pivotal role in helping India achieve its goal of becoming a developed economy by 2047.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Last week, the Reserve Bank of India raised its FY26 growth forecast for the country to 6.8% from 6.5% earlier, projecting Q2FY26 growth at around 7%. This follows India\u2019s stronger-than-expected 7.8% GDP growth in the first quarter of the fiscal year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Aparna Deb\" title=\"Aparna Deb\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/aparna-deb-20948.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Aparna Deb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Aparna Deb is a Subeditor and writes for the business vertical of News18.com.
