India's GDP growth is anticipated to decline to approximately 6.5% in FY27 due to rising input costs, geopolitical tensions, and potential weak monsoon impacts. Despite a strong finish in FY26 with a 7.7% growth, challenges such as inflation and export slowdowns are expected to hinder growth.
- 01India's GDP growth is forecasted to moderate to 6.5% in FY27, influenced by higher input costs and geopolitical tensions.
- 02The agriculture Gross Value Added (GVA) is expected to slow to 1.2% YoY if the monsoon is below normal.
- 03Real GDP growth for FY26 was 7.7% YoY, with a strong Q4 performance of 7.8% YoY.
- 04Private Final Consumption Expenditure rose to 7.7% YoY in FY26, driven by tax cuts and improved rural demand.
- 05Export growth softened to 6.3% YoY in FY26, while imports increased by 5.6% YoY.

India's GDP growth is projected to decline to around 6.5% in FY27, as per reports from Dolat Capital and ICICI Global Markets. The anticipated slowdown is attributed to increased input costs, geopolitical tensions, and the potential for a weak monsoon, particularly if the India Meteorological Department's forecast of a 90% of Long Period Average (LPA) monsoon under El Nino materializes. Despite these challenges, the economy ended FY26 on a strong note, with a 7.7% YoY growth in GDP and a robust 7.8% growth in Q4. Private consumption and capital expenditure are expected to remain supportive, but inflation and export slowdowns pose risks. Agriculture GVA is projected to slow to 1.2% YoY if monsoon conditions are unfavorable, while the manufacturing sector showed improvement but faced supply disruptions. Overall, while FY26's performance provides a buffer, FY27 growth is likely to be more cost-driven.
