10.04.202602:00:00UTC+00India’s Consumer Sentiment Surges in April as Thomson Reuters IPSOS PCSI Jumps to 66.17

India’s consumer confidence strengthened sharply in April 2026, with the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) rising to 66.17, up from 57.26 in March 2026. The latest reading, updated on 10 April 2026, reflects a strong month‑over‑month improvement in sentiment.

The April figure signals a notable acceleration compared with March, when the index had stood at 57.26. Under the month‑over‑month comparison framework, the “Actual” value for April tracks the change relative to March, while the “Previous” comparison in March measured its change versus February. The sharp rise suggests that Indian consumers entered the second quarter of 2026 with markedly improved confidence about economic and personal financial conditions.

Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely to see whether this momentum in consumer sentiment is sustained, as shifts in the PCSI can serve as an early indicator for trends in household spending and broader economic activity in India.
