Is cheap oil good or bad for India? Explained in 90 seconds

Global oil prices have been plummeting in the last few months because of slowing demand in places like China, Brazil and Europe - and a supply increase too, especially from the US thanks to shale oil.

BBC News explores the issues in 90 seconds.
