Almost a quarter of Indian import accounts for crude oil. Rising in crude prices creates a serious concern. It creates the fiscal deficit, current amount deficit and inflation. As per situation, if crude prices are increasing day by day then it will lead to a higher inflation. If the oil price is increased by OPEC countries the ideal price of currency gets depreciated. Let’s take an example to understand this. If the price of oil is $150per barrel on particular day and then increases to $160 that implies we need to buy more USD by given rupee for paying the oil bill. The increase in Crude oil price will defiantly effect India inflation, as the impact of oil prices on inflation would probably be greater in the emerging economies like India.
