Hardeep Singh Puri Attributes Rising Oil Prices to Supply Route Disruptions, Not Shortage
Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri stated that the global oil market faces no shortage, with supply at 104 million barrels per day exceeding consumption of 94 million barrels. He attributed rising energy prices to disruptions in key supply routes, including the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, affected by geopolitical tensions like the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Puri highlighted India's efforts to boost domestic oil and gas production through initiatives like Samudra Manthan to mitigate international market risks.
