INDIAN manufacturing growth accelerated in March after a jump in demand even though firms pushed up prices at the fastest rate in four months, a business survey showed on Thursday.

The HSBC Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index , compiled by Markit, rose to 52.1 in March from 51.2, confounding economists polled by Reuters who expected a slight dip to 51.0.
