Report Warns Inflation and El Niño Risks May Raise India's Fiscal Burden by Rs 5 Trillion
A report by Prabhudas Lilladher warns that rising inflation, El Niño effects, and global geopolitical tensions could disrupt India's consumer demand from the second quarter of FY27, potentially increasing the fiscal burden by up to Rs 5 trillion due to higher subsidies and lost petroleum taxes. Despite these challenges, India's economic growth remains resilient, though risks from import dependence and supply chain disruptions persist. The report highlights sectoral optimism in domestic investment areas while expressing caution on others amid uncertainty.
