India's Economy Shows Reduced Impact from Oil Prices at USD 100 per Barrel

India's economy shows resilience to oil prices reaching USD 100 per barrel, unlike in the past when such levels caused significant disruption. Factors such as diversified energy sources, improved fiscal management, and strategic reserves contribute to this reduced impact. Market analysts suggest that while oil price hikes still influence inflation and trade deficits, India's adaptive measures have lessened the economic shock compared to earlier periods.
