Supply not an issue for India, price is; If crude price crosses USD100, India will be impacted: Experts
By Nikhil Dedha New Delhi [India], June 23 (ANI): Amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and rising crude oil prices, energy experts have said that oil supply through the Strait of Hormuz is unlikely to be immediately affected, though risks remain if tensions escalate further. Industry experts, in conversations with ANI, stated that the situation in the region remains tense after the recent US action against Iran, but the general hope is that oil supply routes will stay open. MK Surana, former chairman of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), told ANI, 'India has done well to diversify its supply sources in the last few years, and our dependency on Straits of Hormuz and supply from the Middle East is lesser now than what it was earlier. But any disruption in the Straits and Middle East supply will definitely affect crude oil prices globally. Therefore, for India, pricing is a bigger concern than the availability.' Surana added that immediately, there is unlikely to be any disruption in supply through the Strait of Hormuz. 'Post US action on Sunday in Iran, the situation is of an uneasy calm awaiting Iranian response. General understanding and hope is that the supply chain through the Straits of Hormuz will not get blocked in reality and Iran will not precipitate actions that will damage any oil infrastructure in the neighbouring countries,' he said. However, 'Despite a looming threat, till these two situations hold, the crude oil prices are unlikely to go above the USD 80 range, though there may be occasional spikes depending on news flow. But if any of the two situations happens in reality, the crude prices will rise sharply,' noted the ex-HPCL Chairman. Surana explained that fundamentally, based on supply-demand projections and without the current geopolitical tensions, crude oil prices would be in the range of USD 60 to 65 per barrel. Prominent energy expert Narendra Taneja echoed similar views. He told ANI, 'The Strait of Hormuz has never ever been closed or blocked in history. It will be a major escalation if there is any attempt on the part of Iran to close the Strait. The US would most likely respond militarily and not let Iran block it. Major oil exporters Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq would also protest. Big importers like China and India would protest.' On the impact on India, Taneja stated, 'Almost 39 per cent of our oil import tankers pass through the Strait of Hormuz. So, the impact on India would be there, but our biggest worry is the price, not the supply or availability. If Iran is allowed to succeed in blocking the Strait, oil prices may go up to USD 150 per barrel.' Madan Sabnavis, Chief Economist of Bank of Baroda, said, 'A 10 per cent increase may not have much of an impact on the economy where the fundamentals are robust. But if it is over USD 100 for a prolonged period of time, it would mean virtually a 25 per cent increase over the base case assumption and can have a major impact on these variables.' He added that the impact on GDP will depend mainly on how inflation behaves and how it affects consumption. Ajay Srivastava of Global Trade and Research Initiative (GTRI) highlighted India's vulnerability, stating, 'India is especially vulnerable to a possible Strait of Hormuz closure. Nearly two-thirds of its crude oil and half of its LNG imports transit this route. Any closure could send oil prices soaring, sharply inflating India's import bill, worsening inflation, and putting pressure on the country's fiscal position.' 'The Strait, which carries nearly 25 per cent of global oil shipments and significant LNG volumes, remains open for now. The parliamentary vote is not binding; a final decision rests with Iran's Supreme National Security Council, which is still deliberating. While no closure has been enacted yet, the risk of disruption looms amid escalating U.S.-Iran tensions,' he noted further. Meanwhile, Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, while speaking with ANI, assured that India is prepared for such risks. He said, 'We had diversified the sources of supply. Out of the 5.5 million barrels of crude oil that India consumes daily, about 1.5 to 2 million come through the Straits of Hormuz. We import roughly 4 million barrels through other routes.' Puri added, 'Our oil marketing companies have enough stocks. Most of them have stocks up to three weeks. One of them has 25 days' stock. We can increase the supply of crude through other routes. We are in touch with all possible actors.' As tensions in the Middle East continue, India and global markets remain watchful, hoping that the vital Strait of Hormuz stays open and uninterrupted to avoid a sharp rise in crude oil prices. (ANI)

India's Export Revolution: How Ex-Im Is Turning Trade Data Into A Strategic Export Weapon
India, June 23, 2025: In a game-changing move for India's mid-sized exporters, The Dollar Business' EX-IM platform is revolutionising how global trade is navigated, ushering in a new era where AI and real-time data replace guesswork and outdated methods. We are seeing exporters now rediscovering growth by identifying high-demand markets, avoiding unreliable buyers, and streamlining logistics, all from a single digital dashboard. As global trade becomes increasingly complex, EX‑IM emerges as the exporter's secret weapon, enabling sharper strategies and faster pivots to secure a competitive edge in volatile markets. According to Avnish Goyal, Founder & Director, The Dollar Business, 'This is the evolution of export intelligence, giving power back to the exporters by making insight not just accessible but actionable in seconds.' Gone are the days when cold calls, luck, and blind trust drove exports. We know mid-sized exporters have often been the unsung heroes of India's economy. They don't always make headlines, but they move everything from tea to textiles across continents. Yet, many of them have flown blind, relying on fragmented knowledge, losing out to tariffs, unpredictable buyers, and clogged ports. It wasn't a lack of ambition but a lack of insight. Take the case of a small but ambitious exporter from Tamil Nadu. Coffee beans were piling up in their warehouse, their biggest buyer from Germany had gone silent, and they were on the brink of shelving their Europe expansion plan. It was then that they logged into EX-IM. Demand heatmaps revealed that Turkey's appetite for premium Indian coffee was surging. Buyer insights exposed new, active importers in Istanbul and Berlin, real companies with verified transaction histories. Route optimisation tools showed faster, cheaper shipping paths, avoiding congested European ports entirely. Tariff alerts warned them of sudden duty hikes, letting them act before costs escalated. EX‑IM pulls real-time trade data from 181+ countries and packages it into simple, strategic dashboards. For the first time, Indian exporters don't have to guess who's buying what, where, or when. It's like switching from a dusty map to Google Earth for your export strategy. Sure, a directory can give you 10,000 buyer names. But trust? That's a different story. EX‑IM doesn't just give you names; it gives you the truth behind them. The platform doesn't just name names. It shows: Shipment frequencies Transaction volumes Port consistency Import categories by buyer That means fewer surprises, more reliable contracts, and a built-in fraud shield. Some exporters call it their 'circle of trust.' We know time is money, but today it is more like survival. With EX‑IM's AI engine running 24/7, exporters can predict demand spikes before they happen. Think of it like a crystal ball that scans millions of trade documents and customs declarations to show: Which markets are heating up Where prices are trending Which routes are likely to slow down And you don't have to wait for a quarterly report. You can pivot weekly, daily, or even hourly. Exporters who once planned on spreadsheets are now strategising with heatmaps. Those who feared price wars are now using tariff intelligence to prevent them. This is a transformation rather than an upgrade. Data is the new currency. Exporters using EX-IM gain access to trade behaviour across continents, down to the product category, price, volume, and importer history. Strategy is no longer passive. With real-time dashboards, you don't just watch the market; you move with it. Speed is your competitive moat. EX-IM's alerts are instant. When a price surge happens in Eastern Europe, you know before your competitors do. This trio—data, strategy, and speed, is the new DNA for exporters wanting to dominate global trade in 2025 and beyond. Exporters using EX-IM are seeing real-world impact: Revenue boosts from identifying untapped, high-paying markets. Cost savings by avoiding overpriced freight paths and last-minute storage fees. Higher buyer retention thanks to smarter delivery timelines and better pricing intelligence. New partnerships from identifying and vetting high-frequency importers who were previously invisible. The biggest value of EX-IM? It is not just the dashboards. It is not even the data. It is the confidence exporters feel when they're equipped to make decisions quickly, strategically, and independently. You log in, see your market landscape, and execute with precision. There's no second-guessing. No sleepless nights over whether your shipment will clear or your pricing will hold. Exporting in 2025 isn't about size. It is about speed, clarity, and bold moves backed by real insight. With the Dollar Business EX‑IM platform, Indian exporters, especially mid-sized ones, are no longer underdogs. They're fast-moving, data-backed powerhouses reshaping global trade. No more blind spots. No more 'wait and see,' just sharp decisions, scalable growth, and peace of mind, delivered straight from the dashboard. For more information, please visit:
