New consumption survey to track your OTT subscriptions

In a bid to capture the consumption patterns better in view of the changing economy, the Household Consumption Expenditure Survey (HCES) has been revised. After the amendment, made after over a decade, consumers are going to be asked about their OTT subscriptions, online expenditure, where they order their food from, whether it is Swiggy or Zomato, and if they own electric vehicles, as per a report in The Economic Times.

Also covering questions on cab booking apps and channels, the idea of the survey is to know “how much is spent online,” a source familiar with the matter told the publication.
