economic recovery. Reports indicating that monsoon rains over India's mainland will be delayed by
about four days also weighed on sentiment. Sensex fell below the psychological 16,000 mark. The

infrastructure projects to avoid delays in their completion. The government said it will periodically

quickly identified and resolved. All public-sector projects with an investment of 10 billion rupees
($178 million) or more will be monitored by the National Manufacturing Competitive Council.
• Monsoon rains over India's mainland will be reportedly delayed by about four days and are
expected to hit the southern state of Kerala around June 5. The state-run India Meteorological
Department had initially forecast the monsoon would arrive by June 1, but the progress of rains has
stalled over Sri Lanka. Around 60% of summer crops are rain-fed, and if monsoon rainfall is more
or less on schedule and in sufficient amounts, crops that benefit from the rains account for around
half of India's total agricultural output.

by slowing growth of domestic order books. The HSBC manufacturing Purchasing Managers'
Index (PMI), compiled by Markit, slipped marginally to 54.8 in May from 54.9 in April. It has
stayed above the 50 mark, that separates growth from contraction, for a little over three years now.

rose to its highest level in ten months.

meeting and conferences at five-star hotels.

seven months today, after China's manufacturing index missed estimates, adding to

could hit demand for petrol driven two wheelers. Construction stocks declined
