India’s energy security is under fresh threat after a missile strike crippled key LNG facilities in Qatar. The attack on Ras Laffan Industrial City has reduced export capacity by 17 percent, according to QatarEnergy, with recovery expected to take years. This directly impacts India, which relies on Qatar for nearly half of its natural gas imports. Damage to critical infrastructure, including units linked to ExxonMobil and Shell, has forced long-term supply disruptions. As global LNG markets tighten, India could face higher prices and supply shortages. With tensions rising around the Strait of Hormuz, the situation may worsen further. The crisis highlights India’s vulnerability and the urgent need to secure alternative energy routes and reduce dependence on a single supplier.
