India's GDP Growth Projected to Slow to 6.6% in FY27 Amid Energy and Monsoon Challenges
S P Global Ratings projects India's GDP growth to slow to 6.6% in fiscal year 2027, down from 7.7% in 2026, citing energy market stress, a sub-par monsoon influenced by El Nino, and slowing global growth. The government has prepared contingency plans for deficient rainfall. Rising global crude oil and fertilizer prices are expected to increase inflation and input costs. Meanwhile, fiscal challenges including subsidy pressures and geopolitical tensions may complicate the government's debt reduction goals.
