India Enhances Energy Security Amid Strait of Hormuz Disruptions, Says Minister
India has strengthened its energy security by diversifying crude oil imports from 27 to 41 countries, expanding refining capacity, and increasing domestic production, according to Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri. Despite disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz earlier this year, India maintained uninterrupted fuel supplies across its 1.07 lakh retail outlets. The government highlighted strategic infrastructure investments, international partnerships, and alternative fuels as key to resilience, alongside initiatives like the Rs 84,000-crore Samudra Manthan scheme to boost exploration.
