Background
Overview
El Niño directly impacts India's monsoon-dependent agriculture, food security, rural livelihoods, and has significant ripple effects on inflation, fiscal policy (subsidies), and overall economic stability.
El Niño is a climate pattern associated with the warming of the ocean surface temperature in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, which significantly influences global weather patterns, including the Indian monsoon, often leading to deficient rainfall and impacting agricultural output.
