India’s services sector expanded at its fastest pace in three months in September, with the HSBC Services PMI rising to 55.2 on stronger domestic demand. However, quarterly growth was the weakest since early 2022, reflecting softer hiring and exports. Manufacturing gains lifted the Composite PMI to 55.9, signalling a moderate recovery.
