As global energy markets face unprecedented stress, India is recalibrating its strategy. The ongoing US-Iran conflict and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz have created a volatile supply environment. In response, India is exploring the restart of Russian LNG imports, a move that had stalled after the Ukraine war. Simultaneously, New Delhi is seeking a waiver from Washington to bypass sanctions, showing how diplomacy and energy security are now closely linked. The stakes are high. India imports a large share of its energy, and any disruption directly impacts fuel prices, industries, and households. With LNG supplies tightening globally and infrastructure damage in the Gulf, competition for resources is rising. India’s approach reflects a careful balance—maintaining global partnerships while securing critical supplies. In a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape, this move underscores one reality: energy security is now at the heart of national strategy.
