Unveil Thoughtful Leadership: Explore Insightful Articles

In my piece for the Independence Day edition of Outlook India magazine on how a prepared India weathered Hormuz disruption without fuel crisis, I write about India’s sustained pursuit of energy independence, self-sufficiency and security under the leadership of PM Sh Narendra Modi Ji. When geopolitical crises tested global energy supplies, India stood firm. We maintained steady energy imports. Refineries were pushed beyond capacity, LPG production rose 28% in five days, and imports and production were stepped up to keep demand fully met. It showed how While the concept of strategic autonomy is changing in a shifting global order, India successfully navigated the Strait of Hormuz crisis. The true test of resilience is what the citizen never experiences. For four months, there were no rationed pumps, no disruption to transport or industry, and no interruption to normal life. PM Modi Ji ensured that consumers were shielded from any price shock. The entire state machinery moved as one, and citizens saw only the full LPG cylinder at their doorstep. That preparation made a crisis invisible to the citizens.
