India reviews energy supplies as Middle East conflict disrupts shipping

Prime Minister Narendra Modi held high-level meetings to review India's fuel and power supplies. This comes as disruptions to shipping around the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for oil, have made transport 'very challenging' due to the conflict in West Asia.

Modi told parliament that India can withstand the turmoil and has tapped 41 nations for energy to ensure minimal impact on domestic supplies. Meanwhile, opposition leader Rahul Gandhi criticized the government's economic strategy, citing inflation and a falling rupee.
