FMCG stocks stage a comeback as market sentiment shifts.

After prolonged selloff on Dalal Street, FMCG stocks saw a brief breather last week as investors returned with a vengeance to the Indian markets after remaining on the sidelines for months. This also sparked buying interest in FMCG stocks, helping the Nifty FMCG index snap its four-week losing streak. During the last week, the index spiked from 50,739 to 51,891 points, resulting in a gain of 2.37%, the second-biggest weekly gain of 2025 so far. Twelve out of 15 constituents of the index ended the week in positive territory, with Varun Beverages emerging as the top gainer, surging by 12%.
