Singhvi said that India has only one problem - crude oil. India imports 70 percent of the country's crude oil. So, if the price of crude oil is cheap then our balance sheet will be fine, and if it rises then the balance sheet will be disturbed. He further said that India can afford crude oil up to $120. But the question is for how long? India cannot afford crude oil cost of $120 for the whole year. In fact, even if this time is reduced to 6 months, the answer will be the same, Singhvi said.

Explaining the market relation of crude oil and the rupee, the Managing Director said that, earlier, the price of Crude Oil was USD 70 - USD 80 and at that time the value of the Rupee was around 72 against the Dollar. And now the crude oil has reached to USD 115 - USD 120, whereas the rupee has fallen to 79 - 80 against the dollar. That means the Indian currency fell by more than 10% and the price of crude oil increased by about 40%. He said that if crude oil comes down then only the Indian currency will strengthen and vice versa.
