"Red Sea Crisis: Impact on India's Trade and Global Shipping"
TL;DR Summary
Escalating tensions in the Red Sea, due to attacks by Iranian-backed Houthis, have disrupted the crucial trade route for ships moving from Asia to Europe, significantly increasing shipping costs and causing delays for Indian exports such as Basmati rice, tea, spices, and buffalo meat. The crisis could cost India more than $30bn in exports for the fiscal year ending March, impacting about 6.8 percent of its annual exports. The chaos has also led to concerns about supply-chain disruptions, higher consumer costs, and delayed shipments of imports like sunflower oil and fertilizers, posing a risk to India's trade and food security.
