New Delhi, Sep 3 (TIWN) Receding impact of Covid 2.0 as well as accelerated vaccination drive lifted the growth rate of India's services output in August, IHS Markit India Services PMI showed on Friday.
Companies, in the data report, indicated the reopening of several establishments and increased consumer footfall boosted sales, which in turn supported the first expansion in output in four months and a rebound in business confidence.
The data showed that firms had ample capacity to deal with rising new orders, but this was a factor that prevented job creation.
Consequently, the seasonally adjusted India Services Business Activity Index rose to 56.7 (index reading) in August as against a reading of 50 in July.
