The monsoon season in India this year 2025 started earlier than anticipated on May 24, 2025 - almost a week earlier than the usual June 1 date, and the earliest since 2009.
On Tuesday, the India Meteorological Department (IMD)
raised its monsoon forecast for 2025, projecting rainfall at 106 per cent of the long-period average (LPA), and expects June rainfall to be "above normal", at over 108 per cent of the LPA.
The Indian monsoon has a direct impact on the agriculture sector, and also boosts the rural income and overall economy. Shares from agriculture, auto and Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sectors tend to witness directional moves.
However, market analysts this year believe that the early arrival of monsoon in India may have a mixed impact on fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies.
