India, July 1 -- India's manufacturing growth moderated in June as new orders and output rose at the weakest pace in four years, final survey data from S&P Global showed on Wednesday.

The HSBC manufacturing purchasing managers' index dropped to 54.2 in June from 55.0 in May. The flash score was 54.5. Nonetheless, a reading above 50 indicates expansion in the sector.

With the exception of March, rates of increase in both output and new orders were the weakest seen in four years, the survey said.
