India Inc's FY27 profit growth estimates drop 700 bps since February
India's FY27 consensus earnings growth has collapsed from 16.5% to 9.2% in seven months, as the Iran conflict drives energy, freight and metals costs higher while rupee depreciation compounds import bills. Energy suffered the steepest downgrades; real estate was the lone upgrade. Margin pressure and weaker domestic demand weigh on Indian equities, though analysts are shifting optimism to FY28. Near-term earnings risk is elevated.

Consensus estimates for India Inc's FY27 profit growth have been cut sharply as the Iran conflict drives up input costs and a weaker rupee adds to the strain, according to a report from Axis Securities. Aggregate earnings growth for September is now put at -16.9%, down from 2% in February. Consumer staples were trimmed to -3.8% from 9.8%, while real estate was upgraded to 28.1% on sustained demand for premium housing. Higher energy, freight and imported component costs were the main drag.
