A historic oil shock is unfolding as the Strait of Hormuz closure disrupts over 10 million barrels daily, double the 1956 Suez Crisis scale.

India faces immediate ground-level impact with LPG shortages, rationing, and black-market price spikes spreading across states. This unprecedented disruption raises critical questions about the global energy order's stability and geopolitical realignment. The persistence of this crisis could fundamentally reshape international energy markets and economic stability worldwide.
