India's Consumer Confidence takes a dip, as reflected in the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI), which declined to 56.99 in September 2025. This movement marks a modest decrease from August's indicator, which had reached 57.62. The updated data, released on September 12, 2025, highlights a month-over-month decrease in consumer sentiment within the nation.

The index's decline indicates a subtle shift in consumer confidence, suggesting that Indian consumers are feeling slightly less optimistic about the economy compared to the previous month. This downward trend comes after the previous indicator had also seen a subtle shift, with changes occurring over the months leading up to September. Despite the slight downward trajectory, the index continues to hover within a range that signifies positive consumer sentiment, albeit with potential caution from economic participants.

This adjustment in consumer sentiment may reflect various economic factors at play, influencing consumer behavior and outlook during the September period. As stakeholders evaluate the implications of this change, attention will be drawn to identifying and addressing factors contributing to consumer perception, further shaping economic strategies for the coming months.
