Surging oil prices and gas shortages due to the ongoing Iran war are negatively impacting India's economy, leading analysts to revise growth forecasts downward. India, heavily reliant on oil imports, faces a cooking gas crisis affecting households and industries. Economists predict growth could slow to around 6.5% for the fiscal year starting April, with inflation risks rising. The Reserve Bank of India's previous inflation targets may be compromised, with potential inflation reaching 6% by late 2023. The situation poses significant risks to India's external sector and overall economic recovery.

- Surging oil prices and gas shortages, driven by the ongoing Iran war, are negatively impacting India's economy, prompting analysts to reduce growth forecasts and raise inflation concerns.  
- India imports 90% of its crude oil and nearly half of its LPG, with disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz.  
- Key industries face significant challenges due to gas rationing, with economists predicting slower growth and potential inflation rising to 6% by autumn, undermining past efforts to control prices.

India growth forecasts cut, inflation risks rise as Iran war drags on

The ongoing conflict in West Asia has led to a significant decline in Indian equity markets, erasing ₹29.5 trillion in investor wealth. The BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty50 have dropped 7.6% and 7.4%, respectively, since February 28. Global market volatility, high oil prices above $100 per barrel, and persistent foreign institutional investor (FII) selling have contributed to this downturn. The rupee has also hit a record low against the dollar, further impacting investor sentiment. Analysts suggest crucial support levels for Nifty and Sensex amid this market pressure.
