Global stock markets are tumbling, yet India stands apart—its lack of AI exposure has paradoxically become an advantage.

Over the past month, India's Nifty 50 Index rose by approximately 1% against the broader market trend, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index declined by more than 9%. As global AI-related trades cooled, India’s relatively low exposure to AI became an advantage, attracting capital inflows. Additionally, falling oil prices, a stabilizing rupee, and improving earnings expectations provided further support. However, high valuations remain a key constraint, with over 30% of index constituents trading at price-to-earnings multiples above 50x, making it difficult to fundamentally reverse the prevailing trend of capital outflows.

Indian refiners are reportedly seeking alternative currencies such as the renminbi and Hong Kong dollar for purchasing Russian oil.

Bloomberg reported, citing sources, that as geopolitical tensions escalate and U.S. policies shift, Indian refiners are increasingly using other currencies to purchase Russian oil in an effort to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar. According to reports, the latest transaction method involves depositing Indian rupees into special bank accounts opened by Russian sellers overseas, which are then converted into UAE dirhams or Chinese yuan. Although the U.S. allowed India to purchase Russian oil earlier this month, the exemption is set to expire on April 11. Before this deadline, some Russian oil companies are seeking more permanent arrangements and prefer payments in alternative currencies to mitigate the impact of potential U.S. policy changes.
