India's economic growth is facing a new challenge due to the US-Israeli war on Iran. The country's deep-rooted ties with the Gulf region, a key pillar of trade, energy supplies, and remittances, are being disrupted. Around 10 million Indians live and work in the Gulf, sending home nearly $130 billion annually. The conflict has created a perfect storm for India, with the Middle East accounting for 40% of its oil imports and 80% of its gas supplies. Rising energy prices are already affecting the economy, threatening the balance between growth and inflation. India's stock markets have declined by about 10% in the past month.
