Why does India sell one million motorcycles in a month? Why does the demand for cars in the country grow by 30 per cent and the same for Maggie noodles rise by 25 per cent annually?

India is a highly energy-dependent country. The recent crash in the price of crude oil by 30 per cent to $90 a barrel has changed a lot of things.
