India's manufacturing sector output slowed down last month due to a softer expansion in new orders and production, a key macro-economic data showed on Thursday.

The Nikkei India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), which is a composite indicator of manufacturing performance stood at 51.6 from the index reading of 52.5 reported in April 2017. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

An index reading of above 50 indicates an overall increase in economic activity, and below 50 an overall decrease. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

"The upturn in the Indian manufacturing sector took a step back in May, with softer demand causing lower expansions in output and the amount of new work received by firms. Moreover, there was a renewed decline in new export orders," said Pollyanna De Lima, economist at IHS Markit and the author of the report. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions


"Echoing a more positive tone, the PMI dataset highlighted a stronger increase in businesses' input purchasing, while optimism reached a six-month peak. Additionally, cost inflationary pressures cooled."The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
