IMF Raises India's Growth Forecast but Flags Super El Niño Risks
The IMF has raised India's growth forecast to 7% for fiscal years 2027 and 2028, citing strong domestic demand and a robust services sector. However, it flagged potential risks from the Super El Niño weather phenomenon, including lower crop yields and higher food prices that could reduce household purchasing power. These risks have not yet materialized, and the IMF plans to reassess its projections in the January World Economic Outlook update based on evolving weather conditions.
