India’s Services Sector Picks Up Pace, Growth Hits 3-Month High in September

India's services sector accelerated to a three-month high in September, with the HSBC India Services PMI rising to 55.2 from 54.1 as new orders strengthened domestic demand. S&P Global's survey cited gains in digital, food, insurance, loans, software, transport and travel, plus improved exports, easing input-cost pressures and renewed hiring, while quarterly growth remained weaker than the prior quarter.
