India's economic growth faces a potential downturn if crude oil prices surge to $130 per barrel in 2026, according to S&P Global Ratings. Such a scenario could lead to an 80 basis point decrease in the country's economic expansion.
However, India's economic resilience is bolstered by strong domestic fundamentals. Government support and a healthier corporate and banking sector are also anticipated to significantly mitigate the impact of rising oil prices.
