In a latest update from Thomson Reuters and IPSOS, the Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) for India has shown a slight decline as the year closes. The index, which was recorded at 61.05 in November 2025, has fallen to 59.31 in December 2025. This data reflects a month-over-month dip, underlining a cooling consumer sentiment as the year-end approaches.
Consumer sentiment, a key indicator of economic health, falling from November's figures is suggestive of cautious consumer behavior amid economic uncertainties. The decline contrasts with the stable growth trajectory seen in the previous months, signaling that Indian consumers may be responding to market volatility or potential concerns about future economic conditions.
The updated data, released on 12 December 2025, offers a snapshot of the changing financial mood across the nation. Analysts will be focusing on this trend to assess whether it is a temporary shift or a sign of larger economic narratives at play as India transitions into the new year. Overall, the decline, while modest, signifies the importance of monitoring consumer sentiments closely as an essential component of economic forecasts and planning.
