“This divergence in the two components of consumer demand is reflective of the ongoing consumer pattern, which is skewed in favour of households belonging to the upper 50% of the income bracket… this is worrisome, as such a consumption pattern would not allow the overall consumption demand to become broad-based,” India Ratings’ Paras Jasrai and Sunil K Sinha said in a note.
