Goldman Sachs warns that escalating tensions in Iran and potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz pose a critical risk to India's energy supply chains. As a major oil importer, India faces significant economic vulnerability to price spikes and logistical bottlenecks in the Middle East.
While geopolitical tensions in Iran have triggered immediate oil price volatility, India's structural energy supply remains secure in the short term due to robust inventory buffers. Indian refiners currently hold approximately two weeks of combined crude and fuel stocks, providing a critical cushion against potential maritime disruptions.
