At the India@2047 Conclave, economist Montek Singh Ahluwalia spoke about the Iran crisis and its wider global impact. He explained that ongoing geopolitical tensions, especially in the Middle East, can strongly affect the global economy, energy supplies, and the stability of developing countries like India.

Ahluwalia stressed that India must remain focused on economic stability and strengthen its energy security strategy.
