Demonetisation Sends India’s Services PMI To Lowest Since Dec 2013
India’s economy will be hurt in the aftermath of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s shock clampdown on cash, a private survey signals.
The Nikkei India Services Purchasing Managers’ Index was at 46.7 in November, a report showed on Monday, the lowest since December 2013 and below the 50-mark, which indicates contraction. Services contribute about 60 percent to the $2 trillion economy.
"New business declined for the first time since June 2015, leading to a solid reduction in activity," the report said. "Inspite of the falls in output and new orders, optimism regarding future activity improved. Input costs were broadly unchanged, whereas prices charged decreased slightly."
Nestle India Declares Interim Dividend; Stock Gains
Shares of the FMCG company gained as much as 1.7 percent to Rs 6,340 after posting a two days of decline. The company announced an interim dividend of Rs 16 per share. This is dairy products maker’s third interim dividend this year.
