Shares of FMCG companies rallied up to 7 per cent in Saturday's session amid sharp buying in the pack after the budget 2025 increased the income tax exemption limit to Rs 12 lakh per year under the new tax regime. As per analysts this is a big relief for the middle and lower middle class as it will likely result in higher savings, and drive consumption.
Overall, the move is considered to cushion the impact of rising inflation and lessen the financial burden on the middle class. By and large, the Union Budget proposals have prioritized consumption through personal tax cuts even while staying the fiscal consolidation path.
Post the development, Nifty FMCG emerged as the top sectoral gainer, with gains of nearly 4 per cent at the last count.
