India's manufacturing activity soared to its highest level in over 17 years in August, driven by robust domestic demand and increased production, according to the HSBC India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) compiled by S&P Global.

The PMI rose to 59.3 from 59.1 in July, marking the strongest expansion since February 2008. A PMI reading above 50 indicates growth, while below 50 signals contraction.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
