S P Global Projects India's FY27 Growth to Slow to 6.6% Due to 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 stress from West Asia conflicts, a sub-par monsoon influenced by El Niño, and slowing global growth as key factors. The government has prepared contingency plans for deficient rainfall, while rising energy and fertilizer costs are expected to fuel inflation. This projection aligns with the Reserve Bank of India's estimate amid ongoing economic challenges and geopolitical tensions.
