This study analyses the economic impact of the Iran–Israel conflict on India, with a primary focus on trade patterns, global crude oil prices, inflation, and overall economic stability. The Middle East region is crucial for India due to its dependence on crude oil imports, remittances, and maritime trade routes. Any geopolitical tension—especially involving Iran and Israel—creates immediate volatility in global energy markets and supply chains.

The research adopts a mixed-method approach, using both primary data (survey responses) and secondary data from international reports, market analyses, and academic studies. Findings indicate that the conflict significantly increases global crude oil prices, disrupts trade flows, and contributes to inflation in India. Consumers perceive rising fuel prices as one of the most direct impacts of the conflict, affecting their monthly expenses and overall cost of living.
