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...

India reportedly has only 25 days of oil left, and the Strait of Hormuz, the route for 20% of global oil, is shut. Russia has offered 9.5 million barrels to help India. If true, this could be one of the biggest energy shocks India has faced in decades. Who is India’s real friend in times like this? #IndiaOilCrisis #StraitOfHormuz #IndiaNews #Iran #Israel

How they created panic and fear. Rahul Gandhi : Basically, Gas is going to be a problem, petrol is going to be a problem, oil fuel is going to be a problem. The reality : 📌India cuts excise duty on petrol and diesel by ₹10 per litre. 📌Retail fuel prices remain unchanged despite the tax cut. 📌No petrol diesel price hike in states ruled by the BJP. 📌India holds more than 250 million barrels of crude oil and refined petroleum products. 📌This stock is enough to meet the country's needs for about 7-8 weeks. 📌The fuel is stored in different places such as storage tanks, underground caverns, pipelines, and offshore vessels. 📌India also has strategic petroleum reserves located at Mangalore Strategic Petroleum Reserve, Padur Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and Visakhapatnam Strategic Petroleum Reserve. 📌These reserves include different fuels such as crude oil, petrol, diesel, aviation turbine fuel (ATF), LPG, and LNG. 📌Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi stated that India has been granted access to the Strait of Hormuz. 🟥Of all the states in India, Himachal Pradesh Congress government increased the price of fuel by Rs 5 per litre due to the imposition of a new orphan and widow cess on petrol and diesel,in March 2026. 🟥Premium petrol (such as XP-95) increased by approximately ₹2–₹2.35 per litre across Karnataka in late March 2026, including in Bengaluru, due to supply constraints.

The US Deputy Energy Secretary just said that 3 million barrels of oil a month is the "physical limit" they can refill The Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Despite this, the SPR was drained by 33/m barrels in September 2022 alone. At this rate, it would take over eight years to refill the SPR to the same level it was when Biden took office (-293 million barrels).

Interacted with senior officers of the Indian Foreign Service participating in the IFS Mid-Career Training Programme-III and discussed India’s energy security and energy diplomacy. As the India Growth Story resonates across the world, India is not merely a participant in the global energy landscape but is increasingly shaping it as the world’s third-largest consumer of energy and oil, third-largest refiner and fourth-largest LNG importer. India’s energy demand is expected to grow 2.5 times by 2047, accounting for around 25% of incremental global demand. Over the past decade, transformative reforms under the leadership of PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji have strengthened domestic capabilities, diversified energy sources, deepened strategic partnerships and accelerated our transition towards cleaner energy. The recently launched Samudra Manthan, with an outlay of over ₹84,000 crore up to FY 2030-31, is a major push to unlock India’s offshore hydrocarbon potential, including opening nearly 1 million sq. km of previously designated “No-Go” areas for exploration. It will strengthen domestic E&P and contribute to reducing import dependence. At the heart of India’s energy strategy is the ability to balance the trilemma of availability, affordability and sustainability despite the geopolitical disruptions. Our diplomats play a vital role in this endeavour towards securing supplies, safeguarding national interests, building resilient partnerships and creating the global conditions for India to grow with confidence. India’s energy diplomacy under PM Modi Ji is ultimately about securing the energy for our growth while shaping a more resilient and sustainable global energy future.

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.

In 2023, the Saudi Crown Prince (MBS) made strong statements about the future of competing oil-producing countries: “For example, the United States will not be an oil-producing country in ten years. Today it produces around 11 million barrels per day; in ten years, it will barely produce 2 million barrels. China currently produces about 4 million barrels domestically, but within four to seven years it will be producing close to zero by 2030, or only a marginal amount. Russia today produces around 11 million barrels, but in 19 years it will produce about 1 million barrels, or slightly more or less. So, supply will decline much more sharply than demand. Oil demand is expected to grow through 2030 and continue growing to 2040 according to most analysts, but supply will start to decline gradually within five years. This means that, in the future, it will fall on Saudi Arabia to increase its production to meet global oil demand. This is a promising aspect, but we should not rely on it alone.” And after three years, this vision is becoming clearer: both Russia and the United States are striving hard to secure even a small share of the future global energy market. Saudi Arabia had already anticipated this scenario forty years ago by building pipelines to transport and export oil via the Red Sea at full production capacity, without the need to rely on the Strait of Hormuz.

The current conflict around the Strait of Hormuz is not just an oil crisis but a deeper dollar crisis with far-reaching global consequences. The Strait of Hormuz, only 39 kilometers wide, is a critical chokepoint controlling a significant portion of the world's oil supply about 20% of global oil consumption passes through it. This narrow passage's disruption threatens not only fuel but also food, medicine, and the stability of the global reserve currency, the US dollar.

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.

America's emergency oil is nearly gone, and it can never be fully refilled. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve fell to 298.7 million barrels this week, the lowest level since 1983. It dropped 6.1 million barrels in a SINGLE week. Against an authorized capacity of 714 million barrels, the reserve is now roughly 42% full. It held about 415 million barrels before the US and Israel attacked Iran on February 28. Iran moved to choke off the Strait of Hormuz, which carried nearly 20% of the world's oil, and a 172 million barrel release was authorized in March. Every outlet covering this is counting barrels. But the barrel count is the LEAST important number here... The reserve has no tanks anywhere in it. It is 60 caverns dissolved out of salt domes thousands of feet beneath Texas and Louisiana, at sites like Bryan Mound and Bayou Choctaw. To get the oil out, operators pump fresh water into the bottom of each cavern. The water is heavier, so it floats the crude up and out through the wells. But fresh water dissolves salt on its way to saturation. So every withdrawal eats the walls of the container. Siddharth Misra, a petroleum engineering professor at Texas A&M, said that the process leaves a "flatter, less stable roof" and "severely thins the critical salt pillars that separate adjacent caverns, greatly increasing the geological risk of a structural cave-in." The oil can be bought back at any price but nobody can put the dissolved salt back. The reserve was engineered for FIVE full drawdowns across its entire service life. It has literally executed dozens of releases in 40 years. Misra says that left "severe cavern deformation, accelerated the rate of massive salt falls from the ceilings, and significantly weakened the overall structural integrity of the aging reserve." Sandia National Laboratories has advised the reserve on salt since 1980. Its modelling now tells operators one cavern has three drawdowns left, another has five, and a third can NEVER be used again once emptied. One Sandia engineer summed the whole problem up by saying geology takes over and engineering stops mattering. Energy Department officials told the Government Accountability Office they are holding the reserve's infrastructure together with "Band-Aids," and that it is uncertain how long they will hold. Those same auditors found more than a quarter of the inventory was unavailable for drawdown as of December, because of construction and cavern outages. So the 298.7 million on paper is not what anyone can reach in a crisis. The number that matters more than the total: Misra says 70 million barrels is the hard floor that keeps the extraction pipes submerged in oil rather than water. The practical operating floor sits between 250 and 300 million barrels, and below 300 million the reserve loses its ability to pump at high speed. The entire point is moving crude to refineries fast. Below that line it still holds oil, it just cannot deliver on the timeline an emergency runs on. America is sitting at 298.7 million barrels. The announced release is expected to take it to roughly 243 million. Rapidan Energy puts the real floor closer to 170 million. Auditors did find most caverns in very good condition after the 2022 drawdown, and a former State Department energy envoy said he is not worried about another one. But the same report says every drawdown cycle expands cavern volume and shrinks the spacing between caverns, reducing their long term viability. The reserve was built in 1975 so one embargo could never hold the country hostage again. It has since been used as a routine price management tool, by both parties, dozens of times more than it was built to survive. Whoever is in office during the next supply shock will find out how much of this reserve is still a reserve...

‼️‼️⛽️🇮🇳🇷🇺 Russia’s oil problems are beginning to hit one of its most important export markets, as Indian refiners cut purchases following supply disruptions caused by Ukrainian strikes. According to Bloomberg, India’s imports of Russian oil could fall to around 2 million barrels per day by the end of August, compared with 2.8 million barrels per day in July. Russia’s seaborne oil exports have also declined over the past four weeks to approximately 3.5 million barrels per day, down from more than 4 million in July. Until recently, India, Russia’s second-largest oil customer after China, had actually planned to increase purchases amid disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Instead, Russia is now not only losing volumes from one of its biggest buyers, but is also being forced to import gasoline, including from India itself. The trend illustrates the broader impact of Ukraine’s campaign against Russia’s energy infrastructure: the consequences are increasingly extending beyond damaged refineries and into Moscow’s export flows and relationships with major customers. When a major oil exporter finds itself simultaneously selling less crude to India while importing gasoline from the same country, the pressure on its refining system is becoming rather difficult to disguise.

Instead, Russia is now not only losing volumes from one of its biggest buyers, but is also being forced to import gasoline, including from India itself. The trend illustrates the broader impact of Ukraine’s campaign against Russia’s energy infrastructure: the consequences are increasingly extending beyond damaged refineries and into Moscow’s export flows and relationships with major customers. When a major oil exporter finds itself simultaneously selling less crude to India while importing gasoline from the same country, the pressure on its refining system is becoming rather difficult to disguise.

NBC News’ Kristen Welker: “You’re talking about 140 million barrels of Iranian oil, and that’s just a little bit more than what the world uses in one day. How much can that really change prices here at home —” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: “Again, Kristen, terrible framing, terrible framing. No, no, no — prices here at home?” “Let me explain. 140 million barrels — about 20 million barrels a day — comes out of the Gulf. About five million has been the uh, repurposed by the Saudis, by the UAE. So, we’re at a 15 deficit. About 1.5 is Iranian oil that comes out. So, we are at between a 10 and 14 million deficit on a daily basis.” “If you think about 140 million barrels, that’s between 10 days and two weeks of supply. And one of the reasons, one of the reasons that prices in the U.S. of West Texas crude are below $100 — and we have not seen this massive spike as we did during the beginning of Russia/Ukraine — is because we are well supplied in the market, whether it is the Russian oil, whether it is the Iranian oil, or it is the largest the SPR release in history done by a coalition of 32 countries, 400 million barrels.”
