India's consumer confidence experienced a noticeable decline this February, according to the latest Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI). Data published on February 14, 2025, indicates a drop to 58.04, down from the January mark of 59.98. This decline signifies a month-over-month decrease in consumer optimism within the nation.
The PCSI, which gauges consumer attitudes regarding aspects such as personal finances, economic expectations, and investment sentiment, reflects a slight but significant shift in public confidence. January's index had already dipped from previous figures, suggesting a consecutive two-month downturn.
This trend highlights potential concerns about economic growth and stability among Indian consumers as they adapt to ever-changing market conditions. The current economic climate, propelled by various global and domestic factors, continues to shape consumer sentiment and will be closely monitored by policymakers and analysts in the ensuing period.
