Curated summary
India’s monsoon revived in July, cutting the kharif sowing gap to 2.9 percent below last year by month-end after a weak June. The recovery helped oilseeds, pulses and cotton, but the broader weather picture remains fragile because El Niño is strengthening and the Met Department still expects below-normal rain in the rest of the season.
