India eyes alternative energy supplies amid Strait of Hormuz disruption

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

India is scouting for alternative sources for importing crude oil, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) to prepare itself in case the conflict in the Middle East lasts for more than 10–15 days, a government source said on Tuesday. Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz between Iran and Oman—which carries around a fifth of the oil consumed globally as well as large quantities of gas—has ground to a near halt after vessels in the area were struck as Iran hit back after U.S. and Israeli strikes.

The government is continuously monitoring the situation and is “reasonably confident that if one source closes, another window will open,” the source told reporters.

Indian refiners process about 5.6 million barrels per day of crude, with about 40% of their crude imports passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the source added.

The South Asian nation holds sufficient crude inventories to meet demand for about 25 days. Also, refiners hold 25-day inventories of gasoil, gasoline and liquefied petroleum gas, he said.

However, the position is tighter for natural gas. India has only a few days of LNG supplies left after its largest supplier, Qatar, halted LNG production on Monday.

India eyes alternative energy supplies amid Strait of Hormuz disruption

India is actively seeking new sources for crude oil, LPG, and LNG imports. This preparation is for potential disruptions if the Middle East conflict extends beyond two weeks. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route, faces near-halted traffic. India has sufficient crude oil reserves for...

And the andhbhakhts are busy doing Bhangra without realising how the unfolding US-Iran conflict is likely to affect them.

India didn’t need to choose sides yet Modi seems to have done exactly that. Good luck dealing with Iran going forward.

@Devadwal will escort a caravan of donkeys with oil from Israel.

Modi , the RSS are dumb enough to support damage to their country to keep their dance teachers in tel Aviv happy

Anything Saar for Zionists . First stopped taking extra oil from Russia as were ordered to and now supporting a war which only causes rhem harm . Millions of Indians live in the Middle East too . Strange government, extremism and paganism had taken over

Yes go against USA, Israel (a traditional tech , intelligence and weapon partner and Arab countries where more Indian expats live and a big economic partner for India because big bad Iran might win this war and go against India.

Having said that Hormuz disruption doesn’t effect just India but even China . They haven’t been an active participant in this conflict either.

What’s British and Pak’s stance on this war. Last time I checked Pak signed a defense deal with Saudi and UsA so we know their stance on this. Britain obviously no one takes it seriously anymore but I would assume follows America’s orders.

Don’t worry about Indian diplomacy. Bookmark this, once this conflict is resolved India will still continue to have great relations with both Iran govt and Arab countries .

Don’t target or support anyone, just stand firm and unequivocally condemn all forms of violence. Was that really so difficult?

Why did Modi need to spell out a pro-Israel stance so explicitly? that is the part Iran aren’t likely to forget.

The point had nothing to do with diplomacy or future relations.

Indian government is supporting Israel while a huge proportion of oil is imported , along with gas . All Indians living in the Middle East are not only vulnerable but India is set to lose a lot if money.

Modi confirmed Israel is the father, he can’t help his people by asking for anything to bring this to an end

Brits will ultimately jump if Trump demands it, that has always been the case. I don't know the deal which Pak establishment did with the Saudis so can't comment on that. I don't see them going to war against Iran though, would be a disastrous move.

And go against Arab countries? He didn’t spell out anything. It’s not like India- Israel ties were a secret. It’s always been an open relationship since govt made it public in the 90s.

Also there is also a significant portion of Iranians who are celebrating end of this regime. It’s more touchy subject for subcontinent Muslims I think. I do kinda understand though as he was also a religious leader equivalent of the pope for some Muslims.

Having said that, on principle though, it’s foolish of Indian Right wingers to celebrate his death. He might have been a brutal dictator who implemented inhumane laws but it’s none of our business. I had the same view on Saddam as well. He was evil but it was none of USA’s business. I remember few people in India celebrating his death too while he was a friend of India’s . This isn’t our war.

As far as Ind govt goes, I think it knows what it is doing. It has not been an active participant in this conflict even though these are times you have to more or less pick a side. It’s not easy to get away with abstaining in UN anymore because UN is a useless organization now.

Ok

Yes Indan govt is pro- Israel. Tell me something new. India is also pro Middle East. Please see Modi’s tweets. Last time I checked Iran was bombing Saudi assets. So yeah got it covered with Middle East both from trade and expat issue.

It’s just some foolish rhetorical crutch when nothing else is going your way lol. Not interested.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Will be same for most countries

Regardless of Indian stance on th conflict, they would have beem affected as Iranians have imposed a full closure and it's sensible to look for alternatives.

If the war escalates, Us would need bases with a neighbor of Iran. Neighbors of Iran, hint hint- Pakistan,Afghanistan.

World Events of the last few weeks you missed while searching for random negative Indian content- frequent skirmishes between Afghan govt and Pakistan military.

I think we can all rule out Pakistan will go against Saudi, USA or even dare a war with Israel lol, so it won’t send any help to Iran militarily.

So yeah, both India and Pak seemed to have picked a side and funnily the same side. Both will be passive participants here though with Pakistan definitely having more stake.

Never mind I was expecting a expecting a more considered reply, not a kilo of salt. Although by now I should know better so my bad.
