India Eyes Bumper Monsoon 2025
India is poised for a prosperous agricultural season as the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts 105% of the long-term average rainfall for 2025. This marks the second straight year of above-average monsoon rains, promising positive implications for the country’s rural economy and food security.
The favorable rainfall projection—excluding select regions in northwest, northeast, and the southern Peninsular zones—is expected to boost crop yields, ease inflationary pressure on food items, and fuel economic momentum, particularly in agriculture-driven sectors.
Experts attribute this optimistic forecast to the absence of El Niño, a climate phenomenon often linked to weak or erratic rainfall in the subcontinent. The neutral weather pattern, combined with timely pre-monsoon showers, sets the stage for a robust Kharif crop season.
Economists and policymakers alike welcome the prediction, viewing it as a strategic advantage in maintaining rural demand, managing food stock buffers, and supporting GDP growth in FY 2025–26.
