Fast-moving consumer goods stocking ahead of Diwali is uneven across India. In central and northern India, demand for packaged foods is growing, but in parts of western and eastern India, demand is declining due to higher inflation and price increases. Demand in the east is the weakest, falling 7-8% compared to the previous Diwali season, while rural demand in Vidarbha has weakened due to crop damage.
