How does Iran impact Indian trade?

 How does Iran impact Indian trade?

 

The situation unfolding in Iran is expected to have a significant impact on India's trade. Specifically, according to a senior government official, Iran's attack on U.S. bases in Syria has made the situation "more serious". In response, the Indian government is increasing its vigilance on the potential impact this situation could have on trade.

 

The official also noted a key implication for trade routes:

 

•While there are alternative routes to the Strait of Hormuz, utilizing them "will also raise costs as it will increase the time for shipment of goods". This indicates a potential for higher expenses and longer transit times for Indian trade due to the instability in the region.
