MNI India Consumer Sentiment Lowest Since Sep 2013

Budget Tax Measures Dampen Confidence
April 8, 2015--The MNI India Consumer Sentiment Indicator fell to 118.5 in March from 121.2 in February, the lowest level since September 2013 when the economy was mired in a currency crisis.

The fall in consumer sentiment wiped out the gains made over the previous two months, raising doubts about the pace of recovery of the economy.

Tax measures announced in the Budget may well have dented sentiment. A hike in the service tax will make going to restaurants, beauty salons, theatres, amusement parks as well as air travel and phone services more expensive. The fall in sentiment also came in spite of the early March rate cut by the central bank which came early in our survey period.
