INDIA NEWS | Thu, 12 Mar 2026, 10:19AM IST Though New Delhi is roughly 2,500 km from Tehran, the war in Iran is already sending ripples across the countrys economy. The West Asia conflict between US-Israel and Iran does not merely alter geography or augment history; it precipitates itself in the arithmetic of the common Indian household.Nearly half of India's crude oil imports along with a large share of its liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) shipments normally pass through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow Gulf chokepoint and a vital artery for global energy trade, now effectively closed by the conflict. Along with strangling the flow of energy, the West Asia war has directly and indirectly hit trade of agriculture, consumer goods, healthcare, among others, eventually impacting Indian households in higher prices and tighter supplies.According to Madan Sabnavis, Chief Economist at Bank of Baroda, There is concern on supply of gas which is the main issue. Higher prices of food in restaurants will be something affecting the middle class as these outlets can be restrained due to fuel availability.Oil supply under pressurePetroleum represents the most immediate area of vulnerability. In 2025, India imported crude oil and petroleum products worth roughly $70 billion from West Asia.India faced rising energy risks as Brent crude surged over 25% to $117 a barrel on March 9, a 50% jump since the West Asia conflict began. India imports more than 89% of its crude, with about 2.6 million barrels per day passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Analysts at DBS Bank recently said crude prices could hover in the $100$150 per barrel range if shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is significantly disrupted.Also Read: Iran-Israel war: Every 10% rise in oil prices could shave 2025 bps off Indias GDP growth, says HDFC BankWe estimate that for every 10% increase in crude oil prices, the WPI inflation rises by 80-100 bps, against the 40-60 bps uptick in the CPI inflation assuming that a full transmission into Retail Selling Prices (RSPs) of fuels takes place, Aditi Nayar, Chief Economist at ICRA, said.The quantum of the impact on the CPI inflation trajectory will particularly depend on the extent of the change in RSPs of petrol, diesel and LPG, in terms of the immediate transmission, she said.A sustained increase in crude oil prices could pose significant upside risks to ICRAs FY27 WPI inflation forecast of 2.7%, and to a smaller extent on the CPI inflation projection of 4.0%, depending on the extent of pass-through to the retail prices on fuel items, Nayar added.Bank of Barodas Sabnavis said, Impact on CPI inflation depends a lot on how the government deals with the final retail prices of petrol and diesel. The LPG prices have been increased already but indications are that this may not be done for petrol and diesel as of now. Hence the impact will be muted.He further noted that the higher prices are likely to be seen in household goods like paints, detergents, plastic products, restaurant bills (affecting all online delivery), food grains (provided subsidy is not increased on fertilisers), air fares etc. WPI inflation will see a direct impact with fuel products having a weight of 10% in index. A 10% increase in fuel prices on a permanent basis can lead to around 1-1.5% (including secondary impact) in WPI inflation. Users of crude/gas/naphtha/bitumen will see higher input costs, he said.Markets reel from oil shockDomestic financial markets were rattled on March 9 as a sudden surge in global oil prices sparked a widespread sell-off in currencies and equities, highlighting the economys exposure to external shocks linked to the escalating conflict involving Iran.The Indian rupee fell to its all time low of 92.33 per dollar, while Sensex and Nifty dropped nearly 3%, hitting their lowest in 11 months.Benchmark indices resumed their downward trend today after a brief recovery in the previous session. The Sensex has fallen by more than 500 points, while the Nifty has slipped below the 23,700 mark. Risk to LPG and LNGDisruptions in the Gulf also threaten supply of LNG, compressed natural gas (CNG), and piped cooking gas. In 2025, India imported LNG worth $9.2 billion from West Asia, accounting for about 68.4% of its total LNG imports.LNG is a critical input for fertiliser plants, gas-fired power stations, and city gas distribution networks that supply CNG for vehicles and piped gas for household cooking. Early signs of this vulnerability have already surfaced: Qatars Petronet LNG suspended LNG deliveries to GAIL from March 4, 2026 due to restrictions affecting vessel movement.Also Read: LPG cylinder crisis hits restaurants in HyderabadThe impact of the supply pressure has already come to surface with the National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI), on March 10, asking its 500,000 members to consider shorter operating hours and suspend or reduce items that require long simmering and deep frying, besides using lids while cooking to conserve liquified petroleum gas (LPG).Hotels in Bengaluru may shut operations from Tuesday after commercial LPG cylinder supply stopped abruptly, the Bangalore Hotels Association said. The industry body said the disruption could affect thousands of people who depend on hotels for daily meals.According to a research note shared by by JM Financial, supply disruptions tied to the Iran war could significantly disrupt operations at Indias quickservice restaurant sector, forcing chains like McDonalds, Dominos Pizza and KFC to contend with rising costs, weaker sales and potential changes to menus if shortages of LPG persist.The government, meanwhile, has moved to safeguard domestic gas supply. On March 10, the Centre issued a notification stating that domestically produced natural gas will now be allocated on a priority basis to units that use it to manufacture LPG. Until now, CNG and piped cooking gas were the two priority sectors for domestic natural gas supplies. With the gazette notification, LPG has also been added to the priority list.To ensure supplies remain available during the crisis, the government has also invoked provisions under the Essential Commodities Act, a tool to control production, supply and distribution of, and trade and commerce, of certain commodities.Fertiliser under riskIndias agricultural inputs are also highly exposed to the risks. Around one-third of globally traded urea passes through the Strait of Hormuz, as the Persian Gulf supplies cheap natural gas essential for ammonia production. A blockage could delay nitrogen-based fertiliser deliveries, impacting crop yields worldwide. Countries with domestic fertiliser plants, like India, rely heavily on Gulf LNG for production, making supply disruptions critical.Fertiliser prices could rise, potentially pushing up Indias subsidy bill, if shipments are disrupted, according to sources who spoke to ET recently. If the Strait of Hormuz is closed, fertiliser movement will be restricted, pushing prices up, the top executive of a large fertiliser company said on condition of anonymity.Agricultural trade disruptionsThe conflict could also affect Indias exports and imports of key agri-products. In 2025, India exported $747 million in rice and $51 million in tea to West Asia. However, tension in the region and closure of the Strait of Hormuz has raised freight costs.Around 200,000 tonnes of basmati rice are stuck in transit, and an equal amount is stranded at Indian ports as the war has disrupted shipping routes across the Middle East, Satish Goel, president of the All India Rice Exporters' Association (AIREA) was quoted by TOI as saying.India also imported $71.5 million worth of apples from Iran in 2025; a prolonged war could force sourcing from costlier markets, raising domestic prices.Pharma price pressuresMeanwhile, panic-driven stockpiling and surging demand for essential drugs are likely to inflate drug prices, industry experts said.Medicine prices could also see a sharp rise following a roughly 30% increase in the cost of key raw materials, or active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), over the past two weeks mainly due to a shortage of container ships triggered by the Iran war.Industry officials told ET that vessel shortages have disrupted the movement of raw materials from China, the largest supplier of APIs to Indian drugmakers. This could not only affect domestic production but also push drug prices higher, as manufacturers may pass on the increased costs to consumers.Importers, squeezed by soaring raw material prices, are passing the burden directly to big pharma companies, said one industry executive. With APIs up, solvents rising 2030%, and shipping lines charging premiums, importers have little room to absorb the costs.FMCG companies may shrink product sizesFMCG companies are considering reducing pack sizes or raising product prices to cope with higher input costs linked to crude oil, according to another ET report.Petroleum derivatives are widely used in plastic packaging and manufacturing processes, making the sector particularly sensitive to oil price increases. As a result, consumers may either pay more for products or receive smaller quantities at the same price, a phenomenon often referred to as shrinkflation.Other trade impactsWest Asia accounted for 28% of Indias cut and polished diamond exports in FY26. According to ICRA, flight cancellations in early March delayed shipments for 23 days. A prolonged conflict could result in significant business losses, given the materiality of the West Asian region as a demand centre, even though the industry has apparently not witnessed cancellations/deferments of orders as of now.Meanwhile, prices of aluminium have jumped to four-year highs as the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupts trade from the Gulf, a key supplier to Western markets.On Monday (March 9), benchmark aluminium on the London Metal Exchange briefly reached $3,544 per metric tonne the highest since March 2022 before easing to around $3,394, according to Reuters.What should citizens do?According to Sabnavis, While the tendency is to start stocking goods including LPG, this should be desisted as it creates an artificial scarcity. Better use of gas at home for cooking is what should be considered as the situation is very uncertain.
