<br/><br/> Using HCES 2022–24, the rapid expansion of India’s digital consumption across rural and urban households via online purchases and payments is shown, with rural catch-up but at lower levels. Digital consumption growth is led by non-food services (travel, utilities, clothing) while food remains stagnant.
