51.8 in Apr 2019 from 52.6 in Mar 2019. This marked eight-months low
amid softer increase in new orders. New business growth moderated at
the beginning of FY20 due to political uncertainty and a challenging
economic environment.

4.7% in Mar 2019 as against upwardly revised growth of 2.2% (2.1%
growth originally reported) in the previous month and 4.5% in the same
month of the previous year. The growth came due to 15.7% and 9.1%

• According to oil ministry data, India’s natural gas consumption rose 1.5%
YoY in FY19 to 53.05 billion cubic metres (BCM) from 52.25 BCM in the
previous year period. As per the ministry, higher imported gas prices
limited the demand from the power sector and other industries. The oil
ministry stated that at this rate of demand growth, it would be difficult to
achieve the goal of raising the share of natural gas in its energy mix from
current 6% to 15% by 2030.

began in the country in 1986.
