India manufacturing PMI shrinks to 48.5 in August
Indian factory activity shrank for the first time in more than four years last month, adding to the countrys deepening economic malaise even as thecentral bank struggles to defend the battered rupee currency, a survey showed.
The HSBC Manufacturing PMI, compiled by Markit, sank to 48.5 in August from 50.1 in July, the lowest reading since March 2009.
The index, which gauges business activity in Indian factories but not utilities, had been close to the 50 mark that separates growth from contraction sinceMay but falling orders dragged it under last month.
