Think & Discuss
India’s Energy Vulnerability: Is Over-Dependence on West Asia for LPG and Crude Oil a Strategic Risk India Can Afford to Ignore?
Context from today’s quiz: Moody’s April 2026 report cut India’s FY27 GDP forecast to 6%, citing the West Asia conflict as a major risk — India sources over 90% of its LPG and ~55% of its crude oil from that region. Simultaneously, India-Russia trade crossed USD 65 billion in FY26, partly driven by discounted Russian crude. These data points together raise urgent questions about India’s long-term energy security strategy and the geopolitical trade-offs involved.
🤔 Your Perspective Matters
India’s economic resilience — evidenced by 7.5% CY25 GDP growth, highest in G-20 — may be structurally fragile if sustained conflict in West Asia disrupts LPG and crude oil supplies. Yet diversification carries its own diplomatic and financial costs.
Should India accelerate energy diversification as a national security imperative, even if it means higher short-term costs and complex geopolitical trade-offs?
Should India accelerate energy diversification as a national security imperative, even if it means higher short-term costs and complex geopolitical trade-offs?
- Is India’s growing dependence on Russian crude a genuine diversification strategy, or does it simply substitute one geopolitical risk for another?
- How can India balance its energy transition goals (renewables, green hydrogen) with the short-term reality of fossil fuel dependence in a conflict-prone region?
- What institutional mechanisms — strategic petroleum reserves, long-term supply contracts, multilateral energy agreements — should India prioritise to hedge against supply shocks?
