New Delhi, March 28 -- Strong growth, low inflation, and robust foreign exchange reserves will help India tide over the disruptions caused by the West Asia war, even as the energy crisis has made investors nervous, according to Ben Powell of BlackRock Investment Institute.

The country's growth, inflation, and reserve dynamics are very different from other instances in history, said Powell, managing director and chief investment strategist for the Middle East and APAC at the institute. "India has buffers, resilience, and the ability to get through what should be a slightly difficult time and then get back to the fantastic structural growth of demography and productivity," he said, speaking at the Mint India Investment Summit 2026.
