Indian Factory Growth Slows to Two-Year Low in December Amid Weak Demand

The Indian Factory Growth has slowed sharply in December 2025, marking the lowest expansion in two years, according to a report by Reuters. The HSBC Manufacturing PMI for December declined to 55, down from 57 in November, highlighting a cooling trend in the industrial sector. Analysts attribute this slowdown to softening domestic demand, weak export orders, and cautious hiring across manufacturing industries.
