Modi Discusses Global Conflicts' Impact on India's Supply Chains
Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a meeting with senior ministers to talk about how wars and attacks in places like the Strait of Hormuz and the Black Sea are hurting India's ability to get oil, gas, and fertilizer.
The ministers showed what they are doing to keep these goods coming in.
They also talked about keeping Indian people and sailors safe.
Because of the fighting, fewer ships are passing through the Strait of Hormuz, which means India is getting less oil from that area.
The meeting was held at the Parliament House in India on a Thursday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a short‑notice meeting of senior ministers to review how global conflicts affect India's imports and supply chains.
The discussion focused on disruptions in key maritime chokepoints such as the Strait of Hormuz, the Black Sea, the Red Sea, and the Bab al-Mandab.
Ministers outlined steps to keep essential goods—petroleum, natural gas, and fertilisers—flowing into India despite attacks on shipping lanes.
The meeting highlighted the safety of Indian citizens and seafarers in conflict zones and the need to protect economic interests.
India's energy imports from West Asia have fallen sharply, with the Strait of Hormuz traffic dropping to an average of 31 ships per day.
