India’s factory output rose to a four-month high in May on increased demand, a survey showed yesterday, in a further boost for the economy after data showed it was outgrowing China. Banking giant HSBC said its purchasing managers index (PMI) increased to 52.6 points last month from 51.3 in April. May’s number was the best since the 52.9 recorded in January but was still short of the two-year high of 54.5 in December. SD-Agencies
