Dekho, India ki economic growth expect se zyada slow ho rahi hai, aur iska main reason hai West Asia mein badhta hua conflict. Ye slowdown January-March period mein manufacturing output aur merchandise exports mein kami se pata chal raha hai.
Manufacturing Sector Weak Hua
FY2026 ke last quarter mein manufacturing sector ka output growth 5.1% tak aa gaya, jo pehle 6.3% tha. Raw material ka zyada cost, West Asia crisis se judi global supply chain issues, aur imported materials pe dependence – ye sab bade factors hain. Refined petroleum, chemicals, aur pharmaceuticals jaise industries ko kaafi nuksaan hua hai. Exports bhi 2.8% gir gaye.
Mixed Performance Across Sectors
Manufacturing mein dikkat thi, par doosre industrial sectors ka performance mila-jula raha. Mining output badha kyunki coal aur natural gas ka production zyada hua, aur electricity generation mein bhi thoda growth dekha gaya. Construction sector ka performance alag-alag tha, infrastructure goods output strong raha par bitumen prices badhne se road projects par asar pada.
Services sector mein growth kam hokar FY2026 ke last quarter mein around 8.5% hone ka andaaza hai, jo pehle quarter mein 9.5% tha. Trade aur transport mein growth slow hua. Banks ko profit par pressure mila bond losses ki wajah se, kyunki yields badh gaye the, jo March 2026 tak 10-year government security ke liye 7.04% ho gaye the.
Revised Growth Forecasts Aur Risks
FY2026 ke last quarter ke liye agricultural sector ka GVA growth 2.1% projected hai, par mausam bhi ek risk hai. ICRA ne FY2027 ke liye GDP growth forecast ko 6.5% se kam karke 6.2% kar diya hai, ye maan kar ki crude oil prices $95 per barrel rahenge. Ye revision geopolitical tensions, climate issues, aur commodity price volatility ke risks ko highlight karta hai.
Inflation Aur Monetary Policy Concerns
West Asia conflict se high crude oil prices ki wajah se inflation badhne ka chances hai, kyunki transportation aur production costs badhenge. Isse Reserve Bank of India ke liye economic growth aur inflation control ke beech balance banana mushkil ho jayega. Oil import costs badhne se current account deficit bhi badh sakta hai, jo rupee ko kamzor kar sakta hai. China jaise competitors ko bhi energy shocks se inflation ka saamna karna pad raha hai, haalanki unki diverse manufacturing unhe thoda support de sakti hai. Geopolitical instability ke periods ne historically emerging market currencies aur assets mein volatility laya hai.
