India's Power Sector Fuel Shortages and Global Diesel Supply Constraints Amid Rising Demand
India's power sector faces challenges with critically low fuel inventories at 75 of 190 monitored power plants, driven by high electricity demand, supply disruptions, and slow inventory replenishment. Concurrently, global diesel supply is strained due to geopolitical tensions, notably Iran's conflict affecting the Strait of Hormuz, leading to record-high diesel prices and refinery capacity limits. These factors highlight vulnerabilities in energy supply chains impacting both domestic power generation and international fuel markets.
