<h1>India's Manufacturing PMI Rises to 51.2 in November, Showing Modest Growth Amid Weak Demand and Competitive Pressures.</h1> India's manufacturing sector showed slight improvement in November as the IHS Markit India Manufacturing PMI rose to 51.2 from 50.6 in October, indicating modest growth in new orders and production. Despite this uptick, the sector's expansion remained subdued compared to earlier in the year due to weak demand and competitive pressures. Business optimism was low, and companies reduced jobs and input purchases. Inflationary pressures were minimal, suggesting the Reserve Bank of India might continue its accommodative policy and cut interest rates further to counteract the economic slowdown, as GDP growth fell to 4.5% in the July-September quarter.
