As per the Nikkei India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), the composite indicator of manufacturing performance showed an index reading of 52.7 in May from 51.8 in April 2019.
An index reading of above 50 indicates an overall increase in economic activity, or growth, and below 50 an overall decrease.
