Services sector growth at an 8-month high

India's services sector activity touched an eight-month high in October driven by a significant rise in new business orders even as growth in manufacturing output eased, a Nikkei survey said. The Nikkei Business Activity index climbed to 53.2 in October, from 51.3 in September, as fresh orders expanded at a solid pace and were most pronounced since February .
Meanwhile, the seasonally adjusted Nikkei India Composite PMI Output index, which maps both manufacturing and services sectors, rose to 52.6 in October from 51.5 in September helped by new businesses. A reading of 50 divides growth and contraction.
