Monthly urban consumer sentiment index in India 2020-2021
In September 2021, the consumer sentiment index in urban India stood at 51. Compared to the previous year in September 2020 the consumer sentiment was at 40 in urban India. This shows an increase in the propensity for consumption of India's urban population. Since the low of around 40 between April and September 2020, the index has just slightly recovered by around ten index points till September 2021. Compared to the rural consumer sentiment index it is not only shown that in urban India there has been a sharper decrease in the optimism to consume, but also that the recovery since the COVID-19 pandemic has set on later.
