Mumbai, April 24: Indian companies are projected to experience a revenue growth of 8-8.5% year-on-year in the first quarter of FY27, according to a report released on Friday.
The report by Crisil Intelligence indicates that revenue growth for the fourth quarter of FY26 is expected to be around 8.5-9% year-on-year. This increase is attributed to strong volumes in the automobile and white goods sectors, driven by GST reductions.
However, the report notes that the anticipated decline in revenue for the first quarter of FY27 compared to the fourth quarter of FY26 is due to tensions in West Asia, which could impact demand due to rising prices.
Crisil Intelligence highlighted that the effects of conflict in directly related sectors were already visible during the fourth quarter of FY26. This impact is expected to be more pronounced in the upcoming quarters, particularly in the first two quarters of FY27.
The report emphasizes that for India, this region remains crucial in terms of energy, trade, and remittance channels, making the economy particularly sensitive to prolonged disruptions.
India imports nearly 89% of its crude oil needs, with approximately 46% passing through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. The country also relies on imports for nearly half of its LPG needs, with over half of these shipments transiting through the same route.
The sensitivity is even higher for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), where imports meet about two-thirds of domestic demand, with most shipments passing through Hormuz.
In addition to energy, West Asia serves as a significant economic corridor for India, accounting for nearly 13% of goods exports.
The report states that key export sectors, such as gems and jewelry, along with processed food categories like rice and meat, heavily depend on this region.
