thebalanced.newsUBS Lowers India's FY27 GDP Forecast to 6.2% Amid Energy Shock and Monsoon Concerns
UBS has lowered India's GDP growth forecast for FY27 to 6.2% from 6.7%, citing higher crude oil prices, supply chain disruptions, and a below-normal monsoon. The Middle East conflict is described as a significant energy shock with asymmetric macroeconomic risks, affecting consumer sentiment, industrial growth, and investment. Despite weakening activity indicators, consumption demand shows resilience. The India Meteorological Department projects rainfall at 92% of the long-period average, with elevated risks of deficient monsoon impacting growth and inflation outlooks.
