The revival of monsoon rains in the grain bowl of northwest and central regions should help speed up the sowing of main summer crops such as rice, corn, soybeans and cotton.
Over a quarter higher rainfall since the start of the June-September season has eased concerns of a first drought in six years.
Rains are vital to India's farm sector, which accounts for about 15 percent of the country's nearly $2 trillion economy.
