With global tensions threatening key oil routes, India has activated a strong response to protect its fuel supply. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh confirmed that Indian Navy vessels are escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring safe passage in a volatile region. He also assured that there is no shortage of fuel or gas in India, calming fears of disruption. The government is closely monitoring the situation while maintaining strong diplomatic ties with Gulf nations to safeguard imports. On the domestic front, steps like excise duty cuts on petrol and diesel and removal of customs duty on petrochemical imports aim to control prices and maintain supply. This coordinated approach across military, diplomatic, and economic fronts shows India is prepared ahead of any crisis. Despite rising global uncertainty, the message is clear — India’s energy security is intact and under firm control.
