Not being super familiar with the economic situation in the inter-war years, I can't be 100% sure yet.

If it's the '20s that see the depression, the impact on Germany's naval plans will be minimal - because she's not allowed to do much anyway.

My gut impression is that India's not very integrated with the global economy, especially Europe and the United States, at this point. The country is probably still pretty insular, with little foreign investment in either direction, and there probably isn't a lot of trade going in either direction. Raw materials may be the exception, but India's in the process of industrializing, so should be able to eat up unused exports or find new jobs for the workers.

More likely, India will have its own economic downturn as a result of internal events at some point, the exact consequences of which will be determined then.

It's a good question, though - thanks for bringing it up.
