Iran-Israel War: Today is the seventh day of the fight between Iran and Israel. With this, the risk of reduced oil supply for India has increased. In such a situation, the price of petrol and diesel is going to be affected in the coming time. India imports about 80 percent of its crude oil needs from countries like Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq, Saudi Arabia. In such a situation, due to the war between Iran Israel, the risk of stopping the supply of oil from the Middle East is increasing.
Earlier, dry fruits used to come to India via Pakistan
Not only oil, this struggle is also going to affect the dry fruits supplied in India. India imports dry fruits like raisins, walnuts, almonds, figs, apricots, from Afghanistan. India also calls dry fruits like dates, Mamra almonds, pistachios from Iran.
Earlier Afghanistan used to send dry fruits to India via Pakistan, but in recent times, Afghanistan has sent dry fruits to India from Chabahar port in Iran amidst increasing tension with Pakistan. Now due to the war between Iran and Israel, the supply of dry fruits has stopped. Due to this, the prices of dry fruits in Delhi’s wholesale markets have increased by five to ten times.
Dry fruits transported to India via Dubai
According to media reports, dried fruits imported from Iran were mostly transported to India via Dubai. In fact, Iran’s border is with Afghanistan, so due to the easy transportation, dry fruits are sent from Afghanistan to Iran and then exports to other countries including Dubai.
Dubai is a major trading center. A large number of businessmen here have made warehouses and this is where dry fruits are supplied to Indian businessmen. Delhi Grocery Committee General Secretary Dheeraj V. Sindhwani says, the supply of dry fruits from Iran has decreased, if it is not restored soon, then the prices of dried fruits may increase in the coming months.
India also asks for all these things from Iran
Not only dry fruits and oils, India also asks for Iran’s salt, sulfur, soil, stone, plaster, lime and cement, mineral fuel, plastic and its products, iron and steel, organic chemicals gum, resins and lacquer.
