NIFTY FMCG index was up almost inline with the market. It gained 0.94% last week compared with 1.02% rise in the NIFTY 50 index.

Earlier, the worry over cheaper imported liquor had caused pressure in share prices of domestic liquor players. Now, analysts believe that the impact is not uniformly negative on all the players. Some may even benefit from higher sales of their own imported and high-end brands. United Spirits rallied after a brokerage upgrade report citing better margin visibility.
