New data from the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) shows a clear uptick in business sentiment among Indian firms for the second quarter of FY27, with the CII business confidence index rising to 66.
The latest CII survey, released on Monday, found that firms expect higher demand, greater capacity utilisation, and improved operating conditions in Q2 FY27.
India’s economic growth momentum is gaining strength, as indicated by these expectations for the coming quarter.
Why this matters: an improvement in business confidence can influence near-term corporate decisions on investment, capacity expansion, hiring, and operation plans. The tone of the survey may also affect tax planning, budgeting, and regulatory considerations for businesses and policymakers.
