India's 2025 southwest monsoon season has been characterized by a significant spatial imbalance in rainfall, leading to varied outcomes for the agricultural sector, according to Crisil's recent analysis. The country recorded 108% of the long-period average (LPA) rainfall, similar to the previous year; however, the distribution was notably uneven. Excess rains were more widespread, affecting 58% of kharif-growing areas, compared to 42% in 2024.
