The monsoon has arrived & it has arrived with a BANG!
Conversations with Mr. Arun Thukral, MD & CEO - Axis Securities
Jun 30, 2016

The monsoon has arrived, albeit with a delay of 10 days (approx.) but is catching up fast. The Nino 3.4 index has turned negative & approaching -0.50C - the threshold value below which the El Nino (phenomenon responsible for past 2 monsoon failures) will get neutralized. The country-wide seasonal deficit of ~12% has been reported for first month of monsoon but it is fast recovering. The weather agencies have forecasted for delayed start for monsoon & copious rains in the coming months viz., July-September. Good & evenly distributed rainfall will play a major role in improving the rural consumption & alleviate the rural distress. Coupled with the pay commission award disbursals, improving rural economy could spiral into improvement of consumer demand across segments.
