India is 26 days into a war it didn’t start and already feeling the consequences. 90% of India’s LPG imports pass through the Strait of Hormuz. That strait is now effectively shut. LPG cylinder price up ₹60. Commercial cylinders up ₹115. Bengaluru hotels threatening to shut. Government invoking the...

The Strait of Hormuz is now officially shut. Iran has even warned it may fire on any ships attempting to cross it. But here's why the Strait of Hormuz matters: The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow 21 mile wide passage connecting the Persian Gulf to the open ocean. Roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply moves through that chokepoint every single day. This is a chokepoint the entire global economy depends on. This appears to be Iran’s strategy: 1. Shut the Strait of Hormuz. 2. Constrict global oil supply. 3. Drive oil prices higher (Brent crude is already at its highest level in two years). 4. Increase inflationary pressure and economic stress globally. 5. Force major economies to pressure the US to de-escalate in exchange for reopening the Strait. It’s economic leverage through geography. Even without matching military scale, controlling a vital trade channel gives Iran the ability to impact global economies. The longer it’s closed, the bigger the problem.

#WATCH | Delhi | On reports of commercial LPG cylinder shortage, AAP Convener Arvind Kejriwal says, "Across India, LPG gas, used in homes, restaurants, and industries, is facing a severe shortage of LPG, and the cause of this issue is a significant decline in daily production, which has dropped by 50%. Around 60% of the LPG used in our country is imported, and of that, about 90% comes through the Strait of Hormuz and it has declined now... Restaurants, hotels, and other establishments are facing the immediate consequence of this... 20% of hotels and restaurants in Mumbai have already shut down, and nearly 50% are expected to close within the next 2 days... It is peak wedding season and many people may have to postpone their weddings if this shortage persists..." He also says, "Another significant issue is the rampant black-market trade of LPG... The recent attacks on Iran by Israel and the United States have had a major impact... The non-alignment policy that has been the cornerstone of India’s foreign policy for the last 75 years was dismantled by the Prime Minister in just a few days..."

The Strait of Hormuz crisis is not just about oil. 30% of the world’s fertilizer moves through that chokepoint and prices are already up 77%. Tankers are burning, allies want help, and China and India are cutting their own deals. Americans may support strikes on Iran, but there is still strong opposition to putting US boots back in the Middle East. This is not just a security issue. It is an energy, food, and economic crisis.

🚨 PETROL RATIONING — AND STARMER STILL WON’T ACT The warning is now out in the open. If the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked, the UK is weeks away from a fuel crisis — and the government already has emergency plans ready: Petrol rationing Fuel prioritised for emergency services 50mph speed limits to cut consumption Let that sink in. Britain is preparing for shortages, restrictions, and disruption to daily life — not hypothetically, but operationally. And why? Because roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply flows through the Strait of Hormuz — and right now, that artery is under threat. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has made a direct request to allies: Help secure the shipping lanes. Send naval support. Keep global energy moving. And what did Keir Starmer say? He needed to “meet with his team”. Trump’s response was cutting: “You don’t need to meet with a team… you’re the Prime Minister.” This is the reality. While America moves to prevent a global energy crisis, Britain is preparing to ration fuel at home — because its leadership refuses to act decisively abroad. This isn’t caution. It’s paralysis dressed up as process. And the cost of that weakness? Could soon be felt at every petrol station, every supermarket, and every household in Britain.

#WATCH | Chandigarh: On the US-Israel vs Iran war, Congress MP Manish Tewari says, "The reality is that the Strait of Hormuz is blockaded. About 22 million barrels of oil used to transit the Strait of Hormuz per day. It is down to 0.5 million barrels. In addition to that, there are almost 3,000 ships carrying fertilisers, carrying other essential commodities which are now at anchor in the Persian Gulf and in the Gulf of Oman. Therefore, there is an unprecedented disruption that the world is seeing and if the war escalates or exacerbates, under those circumstances, the pain will only increase. The tragedy is that India's import dependence on crude oil between 2013-14 and 25-26 has gone up from 77 % to almost 87%. In the case of LNG, the import dependence has gone up from 30% to 47%. This government has not created enough exploration capacity over the past 12 years, and that is why India's energy security is seriously challenged at this point in time..."

REPORT: China just broke its silence on the Strait of Hormuz, and it signals the global energy crisis is nearing a tipping point. For the first time since the Iran conflict began, Xi Jinping is pushing to get oil flowing through the Strait again, putting new pressure on Iran as disruptions ripple worldwide. Meanwhile, Iran is drawing a hard line in the sand, warning the route won’t stay open if the U.S. continues blockading its oil exports, and making it clear security in the Strait “is not free.” Trump has warned Iran that if no deal is reached, “the whole country is getting blown up,” fueling fears the ceasefire may already be unraveling. The impact is already spreading. Shipping costs are rising, fuel surcharges are stacking up, and pressure is building across food, manufacturing, and everyday goods. Now it comes down to timing, how fast this spreads, and how hard it lands. Watch closely, because what happens next won’t stay overseas for long. 👇

Let's look at the hard data on how the Modi Govt is actively managing the LPG supply chain: ​👉 India imports nearly 65% of its LPG, and overwhelmingly 90% of that comes through the volatile Strait of Hormuz. 👉 On March 8, 2026, the Govt directed refineries to divert propane, butane, and propylene streams directly to the LPG pool. 👉 This immediate intervention ramped up domestic LPG production by approximately 25% literally overnight. 👉 The entire output of this newly increased domestic production is being sent straight to households so consumers don't suffer. 👉 Overall installed power generation capacity has more than doubled since 2014, providing a massive buffer and ensuring no overall energy shortages. Instead of coming up with ideas like shutting down petrol pumps at 8 PM to control oil usage, Modi Govt is actually trying to find the real solution.

White House war advisor Robert Pape said: "This is what's going to increase the price of gas at the pump, and it's already gone up... When the oil is cut, the inflation goes up." He continues: "Affordability becomes a problem. That is what is panicking a lot of the businesses right now." Only one tanker had to be hit for the entire Strait of Hormuz to grind to a halt. Iran knows this, and they're leveraging it—offering Gulf States safe passage only if they kick America out. The consequences are already being felt worldwide.

#WATCH | With tensions escalating in West Asia and concerns growing around the Strait of Hormuz, global attention has once again turned to energy supply stability. Amid this evolving crisis, India has adopted a measured and balanced strategy to safeguard its energy interests. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is closely monitoring the situation, while the Government of India has reassured citizens that there is adequate availability of petrol, diesel, and LPG across the country. Authorities have also firmly ruled out any possibility of a lockdown-like situation and have urged the public to avoid panic buying and misinformation. In this challenging global environment, India is taking proactive steps to strengthen energy security, ensure uninterrupted supply chains, and protect consumer interests. The government is working through coordinated policy measures, strategic reserves, and international partnerships to maintain stability in the domestic fuel market. So, what exactly is India’s policy approach, and what key measures have been taken to address the evolving situation? Here is a detailed report.

PM Modi’s short UAE visit was mainly about India’s energy security. India currently has strategic petroleum reserve capacity of around 39 million barrels, with about 29 million barrels reportedly stored in March 2026. Now UAE’s ADNOC may store up to 30 million barrels linked to India’s reserve system. This is not free oil or instant delivery — it is a potential storage framework. Fujairah is also important because it is outside the Strait of Hormuz, on the India-facing route. If oil is stored there, India can access it more easily during a Hormuz crisis. Russia has also assured India on energy supplies. So India is building two shields: UAE for reserve backup, Russia for supply continuity. This is not about petrol becoming cheaper tomorrow. It is about India preparing before a bigger energy crisis hits. And when leaders ask citizens to conserve fuel, the real question is: should they also lead by example?

Godi Media and their owners together are trying to fool you. They are telling you that the prices of petrol-diesel, CNG, LPG and almost every basic commodity are rising because of the America-Iran war. But this is not the complete truth! The truth is that our compromised Prime Minister has sold India's sovereignty to America for the sake of his friend. Without America's permission, Modi is doing nothing. The exemption that America had given India to buy oil from Russia is ending on 16 May, and because of this now you will have to spend much more on everything from petrol and CNG to basic food items. Wait wait wait, and if you have also accepted that this suffocating inflation is happening all over the world, then u r wrong again. When Modi ji and his government are breaking people's backs with inflation, countries across the world are giving relief to their people. Nepal made petrol cheaper by 2 rupees, diesel by 12 rupees Australia reduced excise duty, petrol became cheaper by 17 rupees. The benefit of reducing excise duty went to the public, not to oil companies like it happens here. Germany reduced tax on oil, petrol-diesel became cheaper by 17 to 19 rupees. Britain gave a discount of 100 pounds on electricity bills and reduced tax on oil so that it would not become expensive. So for years, even when crude oil was cheap, Modi looted the people of the country, and even now the people of the country are being looted. The whole country knows how Modi has surrendered before America and ruined the entire energy security. India now has to take permission from America, again, to buy oil from Russia. This is the worst imaginable condition for any sovereign country, and all this is because Modi, Adani and themselves consider themselves above this country....and today this has once again been proven.

The US is about to charge $30 million per tanker to cross the Strait of Hormuz. Trump just declared the US the "Guardian of the Hormuz Strait" and said it will take a 20% cut on all cargo passing through. Here is what that actually means. A fully loaded supertanker carries about 2 million barrels of oil. At $75 a barrel, that cargo is worth roughly $150 million. A 20% fee on that is $30 million. Per ship. Per crossing. Now compare that to what Iran was charging. Iran's toll has been running at $1.5 million to $2 million per vessel. On a $150 million cargo, that is about 1.3%. Trump called that toll unacceptable. His replacement is roughly 15 times more expensive. The scale of this is what nobody is talking about. Before the war, 20.3 million barrels of oil crossed Hormuz every single day. At $75 oil, that is $1.52 billion of crude moving through the strait daily. A 20% cut on that comes to roughly $304 million a day. That is about $111 billion a year. For comparison, Iran's entire toll system was projected to earn $1 billion to $2 billion a year at best. The US plan would collect more than 50 times that. There is no precedent for this anywhere in global trade. The Suez Canal charges roughly $300,000 to $700,000 per vessel. The Panama Canal is similar. Both are man-made canals that countries built and maintain. Hormuz is a natural waterway. Under international law, ships have a right of transit passage through it. That is the exact legal argument the US used against Iran's toll. And the cost does not land on the US. It lands on Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Iraq, who ship the oil. And on China, India, Japan, and South Korea, who buy it. A $30 million fee per tanker works out to $15 per barrel. That gets passed straight into the price of crude. Oil is already up over 4% today. The strait that was supposed to reopen and lower prices is now being turned into the most expensive stretch of water on earth.

Hormuz Just Shut Down. Oil Shock Incoming. Iran Threatens to Block 20% of Global Oil — Markets Aren’t Ready. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard just warned that no ships may pass through the Strait of Hormuz —the narrow waterway that carries 20% of the world’s crude oil. Tankers are already turning around. Insurers are raising premiums. Markets haven’t fully priced this in. If Hormuz freezes, oil spikes. If oil spikes, inflation surges. And if inflation surges, central banks tighten, crushing real estate, stocks, and fragile global growth. China is heavily exposed. Europe is vulnerable. Russia benefits from higher crude. This isn’t just a Middle East headline. It’s a potential global economic shock.

There’s a lot of rumours online about India heading toward a fuel crisis. The reality is far less dramatic. India currently has enough fuel reserves, so there is no shortage and no talk of rationing. Over the past few years, India has also diversified its oil imports, buying crude from 40+ countries including the US, Russia, Brazil, Guyana and several African nations. So the idea that India depends entirely on the Middle East is simply not true. Even in the case of tensions in the Gulf or a disruption around the Strait of Hormuz, only about 40% of India’s oil passes through that route, and contingency plans—including alternative routes and naval protection for shipments—are already in place. Behind the scenes, the system is far more prepared than people think. India has built strategic underground petroleum reserves, expanded its pipeline network to nearly 26,000 km, and monitoring teams track fuel stocks and supply chains 24×7 to ensure there are no disruptions. On prices, the global market has seen volatility, but domestic impact has been limited. Delhi petrol today is about ₹94.77, slightly lower than ₹95.41 in 2022. Policies over the past few years have also helped cushion shocks—India stepped in to buy discounted Russian oil after 2022, expanded refining capacity, blended 20% ethanol in petrol to reduce imports, cut excise duties to soften price spikes, and expanded CNG stations and piped gas connections across the country. All of this means India’s fuel system today is far more diversified, monitored and prepared than it was a decade ago. Despite global uncertainty, supply remains stable and the country is not in the situation some rumours compare it to.

BREAKING: Middle East tensions are spiraling. Israel has struck Iran’s South Pars gas field, which is the world’s largest natural gas field. Oil just jumped to $108/barrel! Israel just warned that it will destroy all bridges on Lebanon’s Litani River. This is a major escalation. Meanwhile Iranian media says retaliation is coming after strikes on energy infrastructure. Now Iran is reportedly labeling Gulf energy sites as “legitimate targets” and issuing evacuation warnings across the region. This is exactly the kind of dangerous chain reaction critics warned about and it’s unfolding after Trump’s aggressive moves in the region. Expect oil prices to shoot up even more. The risk of a wider war just surged.

The world is on fire. And your gas cylinder is the proof. Strait of Hormuz blocked. Iran attacks disrupting 20% of global oil supply. US Navy admits they can’t protect it. Trump raised his hands. India is bleeding: Mumbai restaurants shutting down. LPG nowhere. Black market cylinders at ₹2000. Bengaluru. Chennai. PG owners have 1 week of food left. Govt quietly extended cylinder booking gap to 25 days. Essential Commodities Act invoked. Refineries getting 35% less gas. Less gas = less petrol = prices skyrocket. Globally: Putin threatening to cut Europe’s gas supply. Bangladesh. Pakistan. Factories shut. Schools closed. Stock markets crashing worldwide. Real estate collapsing. Gold supply frozen can’t fly or ship it anymore. You can’t stop wars. You can’t control governments. You can’t predict what US or Israel does next. But one asset doesn’t care about any of this. Bitcoin. No borders. No pipelines. No government control. While they print unlimited money and your savings bleed Bitcoin sits there. Immovable. Unstoppable. Don’t watch the price. Watch the fundamentals. This crisis has just begun. Are you protected? #oilcrisisindia #gascrisis #lpggas #indianews #bitcoin

Very Important Read 👇🏻 After 17 days of conflict in West Asia and mounting uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz - the route that carries nearly 20% of global energy trade - the LPG carrier Shivalik docking at Mundra is far more than a routine shipment. From my perspective, this is a textbook case of how geopolitics, diplomacy and infrastructure come together when it matters most. Shivalik alone has brought about 45000 metric tonnes of LPG, and together with the vessel Nanda Devi, India is receiving close to 92000 metric tonnes roughly equivalent to 66 lakh domestic LPG cylinders. Considering India’s daily LPG demand is around 90000 tonnes, this shipment alone helps stabilise over a day of national consumption during a global supply disruption. What stands out to me is the dual strength behind this success. On one hand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s geopolitical credibility, which ensured India could maintain working engagement across a volatile region and secure safe passage for its vessels through a tense maritime corridor. On the other hand is infrastructure readiness the cargo is being received at Adani’s Mundra Port, India’s largest commercial port and the first to cross 200 million tonnes of annual cargo handling. Ports built at this scale are exactly what allow a country to convert diplomatic success into real supply security. Frankly, this is also where I find India’s opposition politics deeply disconnected from reality. For years, we have heard relentless attacks on large infrastructure projects and constant attempts to discredit companies like the Adani Group that are building strategic national assets. Yet moments like this expose the contradiction. When a global crisis hits and energy supply chains are under stress, it is precisely these ports, logistics networks and infrastructure ecosystems that keep the country running. In my view, this episode reinforces a simple geopolitical truth: strong diplomacy secures the route, but nation-scale infrastructure like Adani’s Mundra Port ensures India’s energy lifeline never stops.
