While Governor Sanjay Malhotra lifted India’s GDP forecast to 6.7% for FY27, he didn’t sugarcoat the risks: the Middle East conflict, fresh US tariffs, and a weak monsoon are all threats brewing just below the surface. Here’s why it matters; agriculture employs nearly half of India’s workforce, and if the monsoon stays uneven, food prices could jump, hurting rural demand and inflation control. Even as exports rebound and private consumption stays strong, the RBI is playing it safe; holding rates at 5.25% because it’s waiting for clearer signals on inflation. The big takeaway? India’s growth story is still strong; but it’s walking a tightrope. If global chaos deepens or the rains don’t cooperate, the RBI may have to pivot faster than expected. For job seekers and investors alike; this is one announcement worth watching, not just reading.
