India's monsoon rains may extend into late September, potentially damaging summer crops and causing food inflation concerns.

India's monsoon rains could extend into late September due to a developing low-pressure system, potentially damaging summer crops like rice, cotton, and soybean, leading to food inflation concerns. However, increased soil moisture might benefit winter crops such as wheat and chickpea. A severe impact on early-harvested crops will depend on rain intensity and duration.
