The increase in Indian services activity extended into November, with cooling price pressures and demand resilience inducing sales growth, latest PMI survey data from S&P Global showed.

The current rates of expansion look very healthy when considering their respective long-run averages and the outlook for business activity remains bright in spite of optimism fading due to rising inflation expectations.?
Meanwhile, the S&P Global India Composite PMI Output Index fell to 57.4 in November as compared with 58.4 in October, indicating substantial pace of expansion.
