Strait of Hormuz disruption threatens India's energy security. A new report warns that supply shocks around this critical chokepoint could severely impact refined petroleum products like LPG, diesel, and jet fuel more than crude oil itself. India faces particular vulnerability since 50-60 percent of its LPG imports transit through the Strait, and the country relies heavily on Middle Eastern energy supplies. With only 15-20 days of crude storage as a buffer, prolonged disruptions could create a domestic supply crunch that is politically sensitive given high household consumption. Refining infrastructure damage and logistical constraints will likely extend recovery timelines, affecting global product markets for an extended period.
