India’s Factory Activity Hits Six-Month High in January, PMI Reveals

Easing inflationary pressures allowed input prices to rise at the slowest pace in a year.

India’s factory activity surged to a six-month high in January 2025, with the PMI rising to 57.7 from December’s 56.4, driven by strong demand and increased output. 

New orders grew at the fastest rate since July, supported by strong export demand, which saw its sharpest rise in nearly 14 years.

Firms expanded their workforce at a record pace, the strongest since March 2005, boosting confidence for the next 12 months. 

Easing inflationary pressures allowed input prices to rise at the slowest pace in a year, helping firms increase selling prices at a moderate rate.

This is welcome news, as inflation has stayed above the Reserve Bank of India’s 4% target for most of the past year. According to economists, the RBI is expected to cut its key repo rate by 25 basis points to 6.25% during its February 5th-7th meeting. 

Additionally, India reduced personal tax rates in its latest budget to boost domestic demand amid global economic uncertainty.
