Even as the world faced one of the worst energy crises and disrupted supply chains, India under the leadership of PM Sh Narendra Modi Ji effectively shielded the energy consumers from any negative impact. Despite doomsday predictions by the naysayers, our people, particularly those on the margins, were insulated and protected. The instinct of PM Modi Ji, to safeguard Indian consumers, has held through almost four months of the largest energy disruption in modern history. This was possible only because the ground had been prepared in the years before. The widening of our crude basket from 27 countries to 41, the doubling of our import terminals, and the pipelines and reserves built across a decade under Modi were not abstractions when the strait finally closed; they were the very reason the lights stayed on. A crisis of this magnitude shows a country its real mettle. India endured the closure of Hormuz and supplied itself through it without any shortages anywhere in the country. Today the stocks are full, the pumps are open, and the Indian consumer has paid less for energy through this crisis than any consumer in the world.
