The Nikkei India Services PMI dropped unexpectedly to 51.0 in April 2019 from 52.0 in the previous month and missing market consensus of 52.5. The latest PMI reading pointed to the weakest pace of expansion in the service sector since September last year, amid disruptions arising from the elections, with both output and new business rising the least in seven months. Meanwhile, export sales increased the most in ten months and employment growth accelerated. At the same time, firms continued to report greater levels of unfinished business as clients delayed payment. On the price front, rates of inflation for input costs and output charges remained weak by historical standards. Looking ahead, sentiment strengthened, supported by marketing initiatives, the upcoming launch of low-cost services and efforts to expand capacity.
