The HSBC India Services PMI was revised slightly higher to 57.4 in June 2026 from the preliminary estimate of 57.3 but remained below May's final six-month high of 58.9, which marked the strongest expansion in six months.
Still, the latest reading signaled the softest growth since January 2025 due to a slower increase in output, while new order growth eased to its slowest pace in over two and a half years.
However, foreign sales growth accelerated to the strongest pace in three months.
Employment declined after solid job creation in April and May.
On the price front, input costs rose, driven by higher electricity, food, fuel, and transportation costs.
However, input cost inflation eased to a five-month low.
Meanwhile, output price inflation remained slight, below its long-run average and the weakest since November 2025.
Looking ahead, business sentiment faded.
