India's Oil Security Gamble Just Paid Off; How A Savvy Plan Beat The Hormuz Shock

When the world's most critical oil chokepoint went silent, experts predicted chaos. Nearly half of India's crude imports and most of its LPG supplies depended on the Strait of Hormuz. Yet over the next 100 days, petrol pumps remained open, cooking gas reached homes and fuel prices stayed far below global spikes. This report explores the long-term strategy that made it possible. From diversifying oil imports and upgrading refineries to expanding LPG infrastructure, creating strategic reserves and using smart diplomacy, India turned years of planning into its greatest energy shield. We also examine the emergency policies, subsidy decisions and logistics that prevented panic across the country. #india #hormuz #straitofhormuz #oilcrisis #iran #energysecurity #indiaeconomy #geopolitics #crudeoil #globaleconomy #gulf #middleeast #lpg #cng #energycrisis #oiltrade #pmmodi #timesaxis #toi AXIS is where the world is explained through India’s lens. For decades, global narratives have been shaped by Western media... told through Washington, London or Beijing. But as India rises as a major economic, military and diplomatic power, why should others define the world for us? Why shouldn’t India shape its own voice, own perspective, and own narrative? That’s where AXIS comes in. We decode global power shifts, wars and conflicts, the India-China rivalry, Pakistan, West Asia, oil shocks, trade battles and neighbourhood politics - with one key question: What does this mean for India and for you? As India rises, so should its share of voice!
