The Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) reveals a slight dip in Indian consumer confidence for July 2024. According to the latest data updated on July 12, 2024, the PCSI for India currently stands at 64.52, a modest decline from June’s figure of 65.17.

Month-over-month comparisons indicate a shift in consumer sentiment, as the index slipped by 0.65 points over the previous month. In June 2024, the index saw a higher standing compared to May, suggesting that while last month's data indicated stronger consumer confidence, recent developments have tempered optimism among Indian consumers.

The PCSI is a valuable indicator reflecting the overall economic sentiment and consumer confidence in the country.
