With crude oil prices persistently elevated, the Reserve Bank of India is closely monitoring depreciating currency rates and rising everyday costs that threaten to slow GDP growth.
The war is impacting the economy through several key channels:
Imported Inflation: -
Elevated crude prices and disrupted supply chains push up the cost of raw materials, raising wholesale inflation and household expenses.
Currency Depreciation: -
Increased demand for dollars to fund the costly oil and gas imports has driven the Indian Rupee to record lows against the USD.
Energy and Trade Risks: -
Because India imports over 80% of its crude oil and relies heavily on Middle Eastern liquefied natural gas (LNG), disruptions in key logistics choke points directly inflate the country's current account deficit.
