The Reserve Bank has launched the 36th round of the quarterly Services and Infrastructure Outlook Survey (SIOS) for the reference period January-March 2023. The survey assesses the business situation for the current quarter (Q4:2022-23) from selected companies in the services and infrastructure sectors in India and their expectations for the ensuing quarter (Q1:2023-24) based on qualitative responses on a set of indicators pertaining to demand conditions, financial conditions, employment conditions and the price situation. An additional block on key parameters captures the outlook of the services and infrastructure companies for two subsequent quarters (Q2:2023-24 and Q3:2023-24).
