Modi's Strategic Meeting Amidst West Asia Energy Turmoil

  • On Sunday, March 22, 2026, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will chair a meeting in New Delhi with senior ministers to review petroleum, power and fertiliser sectors, focusing on uninterrupted supply and stable logistics.
  • The West Asia conflict began on February 28, with Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz, which transports 20 per cent of the world's energy, and very few ships have crossed since.
  • Modi said 'Continuous efforts are also underway to determine how we can overcome the disruptions that have occurred in the supply chain' and has spoken by phone with leaders from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, France, Malaysia, Israel and Iran.
  • Immediate effects include severe disruptions to energy supply to many countries, including India, as very few ships have been allowed to cross since the conflict began.
  • The government is continuously monitoring global developments as Iran has retaliated by attacking Israel and Gulf neighbours, prioritizing protection of consumers and industry.
