Diwali sweets: luxury mithai brands make a beeline for premium gifting market
· LiveMint Companies
Diwali is driving a push into high-end mithai, with boxes priced up to ₹21,000 and brands blending traditional sweets with premium ingredients and contemporary flavours. However, premium mithai is still a tiny share of India’s sweets market.
The analysis
Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.
