The FMCG sector has become a significant product category in India, mainly in rural areas. According to several studies, Indian customers in the cities and the countryside have diverse demands and desires. These distinctions have shown significant marketing potential for multinational corporations and other foreign investors who want to explore rural areas for marketing chances. Therefore, marketers must understand rural consumer behavior.

The findings of this article’s study reveal that the model for measuring brand loyalty was effective and remained valid.
