The emerging US-Iran peace agreement is expected to benefit India by easing tensions in West Asia and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial route for energy supplies. Since India depends heavily on the region for crude oil and LPG imports, smoother shipping could help lower fuel prices, reduce inflation and improve economic stability. Falling oil costs may strengthen the rupee, support stock markets and enhance investor confidence. Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the deal, expressing hope that it would restore regional peace and ensure freedom of navigation. However, experts caution that unresolved issues surrounding Iran’s nuclear programme could still pose risks.
