Higher crude oil and food prices amid uncertainty arising from the West Asia conflict, along with the likely impact of an evolving El Nino on agriculture, will drag India's economic growth down to 6.7% in 2026-27, India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) said on Tuesday. Gross domestic product (GDP) growth for the fourth quarter of 2025-26 is projected at 6.7%. The National Statistics Office is scheduled to release the provisional GDP estimates for 2025-26 and quarterly estimates for the January-March period on June 5.
