Hold

This sector uses indirect proxies rather than direct ad-spend data. Urban CMIE sentiment at 109.5 (2026-07), disposable personal income of INR 353131560 million (Dec/25), and consumer spending of INR 44743 billion (Jun/26) are supportive, but formal consumer confidence weakened to 88.3 (Jul/26). FPI flow is mildly negative at INR -558 crore over 3 months to 2026-08-31, so the stance remains neutral and confidence is capped.
