Tensions in Middle East may impact trade
INDIA NEWS | Sun, 1 Mar 2026, 7:05PM IST
New Delhi: Rising tensions in the Middle East following attacks by the US and Israel on Iran are expected to disrupt trade flows, push up freight and insurance costs, delay cargo shipments, and drive a surge in global oil prices, thereby increasing India's import bill, say experts. Though India's trade with Iran has declined over the years due to Western sanctions, the country's two-way commerce with Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE has registered healthy growth. Experts and exporters are of the view that prolonged tensions in the region will have consequences for India on the trade front. Iran has reportedly closed traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and a large share of India's crude oil and LNG supplies from Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar transit this narrow choke point. Estimates suggest roughly 35-50 per cent of India's crude imports and a significant portion of LNG shipments pass through the strait. "Any disruption would push up freight and insurance costs, delay cargoes, and trigger a spike in global oil prices -- directly raising India's import bill," the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said. In response, refiners may reroute cargoes via pipelines to Red Sea ports, source more oil from Russia, the US, West Africa and Latin America, and draw on strategic petroleum reserves to cushion short-term shocks, though these alternatives increase costs and transit times, it said. "The impact would be global, not just Indian. Nearly one-fifth of the world's oil and a major share of LNG trade flows through the strait, and most shipments are destined for Asian economies, including China, Japan and South Korea," GTRI Founder Ajay Srivastava said. He added that the disruption in the Strait of Hormuz threatens a major share of India's crude oil and LNG imports, raising freight costs, insurance premiums, and fuel prices, while a surge in global oil prices could widen the current account deficit and fuel inflation. The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow 33-kilometre passage connecting the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea. Sharing similar views, trade expert Biswajit Dhar said that shipping lines have been affected due to this war, and that will impact Indian exporters. "Oil prices may rise to USD 120 130 per barrel, and it would push our import bill, and may hurt inflation," he said, adding that if it continues for long, remittances could get hit. It may also slow down free trade agreement (FTA) talks with the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council). India has recently started FTA negotiations with the GCC bloc. GCC is a union of six countries in the Gulf region -- Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain. About 10 million Indians are living and working in the GCC region. India has already implemented a free trade pact with the UAE in May 2022. It has also signed a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with Oman. India's exports to the GCC grew by about one per cent to about USD 57 billion in 2024-25 against USD 56.32 billion in 2023-24. Imports rose by 15.33 per cent to USD 121.7 billion in 2024-25 from USD 105.5 billion in 2023-24. Bilateral trade has increased to USD 178.7 billion in 2024-25 from USD 161.82 billion in 2023-24. The UAE was India's third-largest trading partner in the last fiscal. Leading leather and footwear exporter Rafeeq Ahmed said high oil prices will increase input costs for exporters. "We are keeping our fingers crossed...if it will continue for more days, it will not be good for us," Ahmed said. Following the attack by the United States and Israel, Iran on Saturday launched retaliatory military strikes targeting several American military bases in the Middle East, including in Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) President SC Ralhan said the ongoing conflict has already begun to disrupt established global logistics channels. Air routes are being altered, and maritime trade through the Red Sea and key Gulf straits face heightened uncertainty. If diversions become prolonged, shipments may increasingly have to reroute via the Cape of Good Hope, adding an estimated 15-20 days to transit time for Europe and the United States, Ralhan has said. In 2024, the tensions in the Middle East region following the Israel-Hamas war had impacted the transportation of goods from India through the Red Sea route, as shippers had to take longer routes to reach destinations in the US and Europe. The Bab-el-Mandeb Strait is a crucial shipping route for traders connecting the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean. The route starts from major Indian ports like Mumbai, JNPT, or Chennai, heads westward through the Arabian Sea, enters the Red Sea, and navigates through the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean Sea. From there, ships can reach various European ports, depending on their destinations. The Cape of Good Hope route is longer and slower, but it avoids the potential for delays or disruptions in the Suez Canal. It is typically used for bulk cargo shipments, where time is less critical or when political instability in the Middle East raises concerns about using the Suez Canal. The country's exports rose marginally by 0.61 per cent to USD 36.56 billion in January, while trade deficit widened to a three-month high of USD 34.68 billion.Imports rose 19.2 per cent - the highest so far this fiscal - to a three-month high of USD 71.24 billion in January, driven by a sharp rise in inbound shipments of gold and silver due to higher prices.

Mumbai realty market records best ever Feb
INDIA NEWS | Sun, 1 Mar 2026, 6:36PM IST
Mumbai, the countrys largest and most expensive property market, recorded its strongest February performance ever, underpinned by steady end-user demand and a rising share of premium transactions.The momentum reflects sustained buyer confidence amid stable macroeconomic conditions and continued infrastructure expansion across the city. The countrys financial capital witnessed 12,848 property registrations in February, up 6% from a year ago marking the highest tally for the month, showed data from the Inspector General of Registration and Controller of Stamps, Maharashtra. Stamp duty collections rose 20% to cross Rs 1,118 crore, making it the strongest February on record for both registrations and revenue.Mumbais residential market is not merely witnessing a cyclical upswing, it is demonstrating structural stability, infrastructure-led growth, and long-term confidence, reaffirming its position as one of the countrys most robust real estate markets, said Shishir Baijal, CMD, Knight Frank India.According to him, Mumbai civic bodys record budget, focused on projects like the Coastal Road and key link corridors, is expected to boost connectivity and expand residential catchments, reinforcing growth momentum.The February numbers reaffirm that serious homebuyers are making decisive purchase decisions. What is particularly encouraging is the depth of demand across micro-markets, indicating that absorption is not concentrated in just a few projects but is broad-based. Developers are responding with launches and sharper product positioning to align with evolving buyer expectations. As infrastructure delivery continues on schedule, we expect this steady conversion momentum to sustain through the coming quarters, said Chintan Sheth, CMD, Sheth Realty.Residential properties remained the primary growth driver, with suburban micro-markets continuing to attract the bulk of demand on the back of improving connectivity and product depth.On a month-on-month basis, registrations were up 15% and revenue collections rose 10%. The long-term trajectory underscores the structural expansion of Mumbais housing market. February registrations have climbed from 4,840 units and Rs 241 crore in revenue in February 2013 to 12,848 units and Rs 1,118 crore in February 2026, reflecting the markets depth and resilience over the past decade.The ticket-size distribution reflected a clear shift toward higher-value homes. Properties priced above Rs 5 crore increased their share to 8% in February 2026 from 6% a year earlier. The Rs 2-5 crore segment expanded to 20% from 17%, while the Rs 1-2 crore category rose to 33% from 31%. In contrast, the sub-Rs 1 crore segment declined to 40% from 46%, reinforcing the tilt toward premium transactions and supporting the sharp rise in stamp duty collections.Apartments up to 1,000 sq ft continued to dominate registrations, accounting for 81% of total transactions. Within this, the 500-1,000 sq ft segment remained the most preferred at 45%. Larger configurations also gained traction, with the 1,000-2,000 sq ft category rising to 15% from 12%, and units above 2,000 sq ft increasing to 4% from 3%, signalling an upgrade trend among a section of buyers.Geographically, the suburban belt accounted for 87% of total registrations. The western suburbs strengthened their lead with a 57% share, up from 49% a year ago, while the Central Suburbs accounted for 30%, compared with 34% last year. Property market of South Mumbai held steady at 8%.

War impact on India Inc energy cost hits
INDIA NEWS | Sun, 1 Mar 2026, 6:21PM IST
The rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have raised concerns over their impact on corporate Indias energy costs. Although the share of energy costs in total expenses at the aggregate level is just over 4% and has softened over the past three years, it has risen from 2.5% a decade ago. In addition, the sectoral impact is far from uniform. Companies from the sectors including cement, glass and ceramics, transportation and logistics, and power generation show a higher proportion of energy related costs in total costs, which makes them prone to higher volatility in global energy prices. Given this, while the impact may be limited at the aggregate level, select sectors could face margin pressures if the geopolitical crisis escalates. Energy costs are captured under the subhead of power and fuel expenses in the profit and loss statement of companies. A quarterly trend analysis carried out by ETIG for a sample of companies excluding those form banking and finance, and oil and gas sectors reveals that though the share of power and fuel costs has remained in low-to-mid single digits over the past 10 years, it has gradually climbed up compared with the decade-ago level. In addition, while the share has softened to 4.3% in the December 2025 quarter from 6% in the December 2022 quarter, the latest geopolitical development may affect the trend. Exclusion of lending companies from the sample helps in shifting the focus on manufacturing companies while the oil and gas sector companies tend to skew the data given their large business sies and hence are excluded. The share of power and fuel costs is the highest for the power generation sector at around 60% in the December 2025 quarter. It is followed by sectors including cement (25% share), transportation (18%), and glass and ceramics (15%). These sectors are particularly vulnerable to volatility in global energy prices. To be sure, coal prices often tend to move in tandem with crude oil prices though may not be in the same proportion. This may raise the cost for companies which use coal as a fuel source. For other sectors such as chemicals, fertilisers, paper, and metals, the exposure to energy costs between 5% and 10% is lesser but significant.Energy-intensive industries, including aviation, logistics, paints, and chemicals, are likely to experience margin compression due to rising input costs, Infomerics Ratings mentioned in a note, adding that upstream oil producers could benefit from higher crude prices.
