Pakistan projects 22% water shortfall for 2026-27 as Indus Waters Treaty stays suspended

Pakistan has projected a 22% shortfall in water inflows into the Indus Basin for the Rabi season of 2026-27.
It said it faced the same 22% drop during the recent Kharif season, which ran until the end of September.
The shortage will be shared between Punjab and Sindh, as Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are exempted.
India has kept the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance since the Pahalgam terror attack of April 2025.
