        abstract = {This paper examines the content and context of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address to the Lok Sabha on March 23, 2026, wherein he outlined India's economic exposure to the escalating West Asia conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran. Drawing on official government statements, financial agency analyses, and published SDG progress data, the paper maps the transmission channels through which global geopolitical conflict is affecting India's macroeconomic stability — including energy imports, trade routes, rupee depreciation, inflation, and remittance inflows. It further analyses how these shocks interact with India's pursuit of the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), highlighting both the risks of reversal and the adaptive opportunities that the crisis presents.},
