The channel is fx_passthrough (weaker rupee makes imports costlier) and input_cost (crude oil). Affected: Indian oil marketing companies (margin squeeze if not fully passed through), consumers (higher transport and goods costs), and net oil importers. The impact is India-specific (EM_MARKETS) but linked to global crude (COMMODITY_OIL).
