Exchange rate risk may rise from prolonged Middle East crisis, potentially stoking inflation and straining energy dependent sectors.
Prolonged Middle East escalation can transmit higher energy prices into the domestic economy, creating exchange rate pressure and inflationary impulses via shipping disruptions and damage to regional energy infrastructure; subdued capital flows and a flight-to-safety may aggravate currency weakness, while energy dependent sectors like fertilisers and petrochemicals face vulnerability. Offsetting these risks are ample foreign exchange reserves, a low current account deficit in H1 FY26, still-moderate inflation, strong GDP momentum, and policy measures-including trade diversification and Budget 2026-27 fiscal-capex initiatives-expected to strengthen external resilience.

Rating commentary highlighted risks of higher inflation and a wider current account deficit if energy prices remain elevated. Analysts signalled that sustained oil-price spikes could compel stronger central bank intervention in spot and offshore non-deliverable forward markets to contain volatility.
