  • Economy Update: Oil Price Surge Expected to Have Limited Inflation Impact: FM
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman stated on 9 March 2026 that the recent rise in global crude prices due to West Asia tensions may not substantially affect India’s inflation, which remains near the lower end of the RBI’s tolerance band. Domestic diversification and stable price levels support this outlook.
