India’s Consumer Spending Shows Mixed Recovery Across Urban and Rural Segments

India’s latest spending indicators reveal uneven progress across key consumption categories. Urban discretionary demand continues to firm up, boosted by rising services activity, stable employment trends and festive-season purchases. However, rural markets show pockets of weakness attributed to erratic monsoon patterns and delayed income recovery in agricultural belts. Economists note that while headline growth remains strong, sustained improvement in rural purchasing power is essential for broad-based momentum.
Government schemes and upcoming budget allocations are expected to play a crucial role.
