Agencies | New Delhi : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday chaired a high-level meeting to assess the impact of the evolving West Asia conflict on India’s critical sectors, including petroleum, natural gas, power, and fertilisers.
According to official sources, the meeting focused on ensuring uninterrupted supply, stable logistics, and efficient distribution of essential commodities across the country in the wake of global disruptions. The review comes amid rising concerns over energy security due to escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Several senior Union ministers attended the meeting, including Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, S. Jaishankar, Nirmala Sitharaman, and Hardeep Singh Puri, among others, along with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and top government officials.
Sources said the government is taking proactive measures to safeguard consumer and industry interests by maintaining adequate stock levels and addressing supply chain disruptions. The meeting also reviewed the global energy scenario and its potential implications for India’s economy.
The crisis has been intensified by tensions involving Iran and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial maritime route that handles nearly 20 percent of the world’s energy shipments.
Earlier, Prime Minister Modi had highlighted that the ongoing conflict has triggered a global energy crisis, stressing the need for resilience, strategic planning, and public awareness to navigate the challenges.
The government continues to engage with global leaders and monitor developments closely to ensure stability in domestic supply and mitigate the impact of international volatility on India’s energy and economic landscape.
