Weak September rains could push FY27 inflation to 5.5% or higher: Report
A report warns that weak September monsoon rainfall could push India's FY27 inflation to 5.5% or higher, despite significant recovery in Kharif sowing from earlier deficits. Reservoir levels provide some buffer but remain below last year's levels. The impact of deficient rainfall will unfold gradually, potentially dampening rural demand and complicating monetary policy outlook for the Reserve Bank of India.
