# Source Document Not Available

The source document for the HSBC India Flash PMI (Manufacturing, Services, and Composite) for March 2026 could not be retrieved from the primary source.

**Reason:**
1. **Access Denied (403):** Direct attempts to access the S&P Global PMI public portal were blocked by CloudFront with a 403 Forbidden error.
2. **Search Index Gap:** Perplexity search (including sonar-pro) confirms the release was scheduled for 2026-03-24 05:00 UTC, but the full press release text has not yet been indexed or is behind a paywall/protected portal.
3. **Data Verification:** While the payload contains specific figures (Manufacturing: 53.8, Services: 57.2, Composite: 56.5), these could not be corroborated in the body of any publicly indexed document to ensure a high-quality extraction.

**Indicators requested:**
- HSBC Manufacturing PMI Flash (actual: 53.8)
- HSBC Services PMI Flash (actual: 57.2)
- HSBC Composite PMI Flash (actual: 56.5)
