India, July 1 -- Czech factory activity expanded at the fastest pace in more than four years in June as greater output and a steeper rise in new orders supported growth, survey data from S&P Global showed on Wednesday.

The purchasing managers' index, or PMI, for the manufacturing sector rose to 53.9 in June from 52.2 in May. A reading above 50 suggests expansion.

Apart from greater output and a steeper rise in new orders, the positive impact was attributed to customer stockpiling and stronger demand conditions, the survey said.
