India's GDP Growth Projected to Slow in FY27 Amid West Asia and El Niño Risks
India's GDP growth is projected to slow in FY27, with ICRA estimating a four-quarter low of 7% in Q1 and India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) forecasting 6.8% for the full year, down from 7.6% in FY26. The slowdown is attributed to risks from the West Asia conflict, higher fuel and food inflation, currency depreciation, and potential El Niño impacts on agriculture. Manufacturing growth is also expected to moderate to around 6% in Q1 FY27 amid rising raw material costs. Despite these challenges, nominal GDP growth is forecast to reach a four-year high, supported by lower crude oil prices and resilient domestic demand.
