Consumer Services

Buy

Consumer services have a mixed operating backdrop but strong market sponsorship. Foreign tourist arrivals in India rose 6.0% YoY (2026-06), export of services grew 13.0% YoY (2026-06), and headline tourist arrivals were 584000 (Jun/26), though airport passenger traffic was -2.0% YoY (2026-06). Strong FPI inflow of INR 19847 crore over 3 months to 2026-08-31 supports a Buy stance despite some travel softness.
