India's Energy Security Risks Rise Amid Maritime Disruptions and Supply Challenges
India's energy security faces risks from disruptions at key maritime chokepoints, including the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea's Bab-el-Mandeb Strait. About 40% of India's crude imports and significant LNG supplies depend on these routes. Recent conflicts and threats, such as attacks linked to the Houthi movement and tensions in the Black Sea affecting Russian crude exports, have raised concerns. While India has diversified its crude sources, especially increasing imports from Russia, rising global prices and supply uncertainties are expected to impact inflation, trade balance, and smaller businesses.
