The potential US tariffs could affect nations importing Russian oil, but India appears well-prepared to handle the situation. With a diversified oil supply chain spanning over 40 countries and robust non-dollar payment mechanisms, India is less vulnerable to disruptions. However, a prolonged spike in global oil prices above $100 per barrel could significantly increase India's annual oil import bill, potentially impacting inflation and fiscal deficits. The broader geopolitical implications of US sanctions could also accelerate global de-dollarization, affecting international trade dynamics.
