Market Chatter: India to Seek Relief from US for Tariffs that May Arise from Trade Investigations

These may attract penalty tariffs if found guilty.The report said India has denied the allegations and asked the US to end the investigations. It is seeking that the US works out the matter within the framework of ongoing bilateral trade negotiations and not through unilateral means.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.

India's Manufacturing Activity Expands to Three-Month High as Firms Stockpile Amid Middle East Tensions

India's manufacturing sector steadily expanded in May, driven by growth in sales and production, while firms continued to stockpile as a precautionary measure amid uncertainties surrounding the conflict in the Middle East.The seasonally adjusted HSBC India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) climbed to 55.0, the sector's strongest improvement in three months, up from 54.7 in April and a flash estimate of 54.3 released 10 days prior, according to a press release from S&P Global on Monday.This rise was attributed to an increase in new orders and output, which grew at their fastest pace since February. Domestic demand was robust, outpacing new export orders, which grew at a more modest rate. Among its global trading partners, India saw its biggest export gains from Asia, Europe, Kenya, Nigeria, and the Middle East.Meanwhile, the Middle East conflict continued to weigh on operating costs, particularly for fuel, energy, materials, and transportation. However, business sentiment remained optimistic that these cost pressures would fade later in the year.Data released last week by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry showed that India's wholesale prices surged by 8.30% year over year in April, marking the steepest increase since 2022, and rose 3.86% from March. This inflation was primarily driven by rising fuel and power prices following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.Additionally, the PMI survey indicated that the growth in production prompted firms to increase staffing levels."India's final manufacturing PMI points to another month of possible precautionary stockpiling as the Middle East conflict remains unresolved," HSBC Chief India Economist Pranjul Bhandari said.ING noted that India is currently managing the impact of the conflict in Iran effectively due to its domestic fuel subsidies. However, the situation has placed pressure on the Indian rupee, exposing structural weakness. The rupee-to-dollar exchange rate is now projected to reach 95.50 by the end of the year."Fuel subsidies have limited the immediate impact on inflation, while diversification of energy sources has helped address fuel shortages," said Deepali Bhargava, ING's regional head of research for Asia-Pacific, in a May 26 note. "The rupee has borne the brunt, not due to an outsized deterioration in the current account, but because of weaker capital inflows."

Indian Government Proposes Changes to Industrial Output Index to Expand Coverage

The Indian government is set to implement changes to the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), aimed at wider sectoral coverage, a revamped item basket, chain-linked indices, and methodological improvements to better capture the data, according to a statement on Monday.The proposed changes are part of the new IIP series with base year 2022-23, recommended by the Technical Advisory Committee on Base Year Revision of the All-India Index of Industrial Production (TAC-IIP), constituted by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) in September 2024.The panel has recommended adopting a chain-linked approach alongside the fixed-base IIP framework, in a major shift in methodology. It said annual updating of weights would reduce substitution bias and better capture structural changes in industrial production."By incorporating recent information into the weighting structure, the chain-based method improves the accuracy and relevance of the index and provides a more realistic measure of industrial growth," the panel said.The panel has also proposed expanding the scope of the industrial output index to include minor minerals, rare earth minerals, gas supply, water supply, sewerage, and waste management activities.The new series also introduces greater granularity through sub-indices, including separate indices for electricity generated from renewable and non-renewable sources.The TAC-IIP recommended revising the IIP base year from 2011-12 to 2022-23 to align it with other macroeconomic indicators such as gross domestic product, consumer price index, and wholesale price index.The revised series will have an updated item basket comprising 1,042 products mapped to 463 item groups, in aligment with with the National Industrial Classification.The report pointed out that regular revisions of the base years of economic indicators like IIP are "essential to ensure that they remain representative of current industrial activity and continue to accurately reflect evolving economic realities".The first release of the revised IIP series is scheduled for June 1 and will provide index values from April 2023 onwards, including the quick estimates for April.
