India, May 4 -- India's manufacturing activity logged the second-weakest growth in four years amid soaring inflationary pressures caused by the impact of the Middle East War, final survey data from S&P Global showed on Monday.

The HSBC manufacturing purchasing managers' index rose to 54.7 in April from 53.9 in March. The flash score was 55.9. A reading above 50 indicates expansion in the sector. Nonetheless, this was the second-weakest expansion since 2022.
