Balance of payments stress test from West Asia crisis raises inflation, current account and rupee pressure for India.
West Asia crisis is described as a live balance of payments stress test for India, with direct implications for inflation, the current account and the exchange rate.

State-owned oil marketing companies continue to supply petrol, diesel and cooking gas below cost, and retail prices have remained unchanged for several years despite elevated input costs. The government is reviewing the strain from under-recoveries, promoting fuel conservation, a shift to piped natural gas, larger strategic reserves, expanded refining capacity and wider domestic exploration.
