What happened
The conflict in West Asia triggered a widespread energy crisis, highlighting India's dependency on imported crude oil, which accounts for over 85% of its requirements. In response, Jitendra Singh stated that India is moving toward a self-reliant and diversified energy mix. This strategy includes targeting 100 GW of nuclear capacity by 2047, while renewable sources are expected to meet 70-75% of energy demand.

Why it matters
The crisis prompted the Prime Minister to urge citizens to reduce consumption, such as limiting non-essential travel and curbing fuel use, to protect foreign exchange reserves. This strategic shift also supports long-term efforts, such as increasing Electric Vehicle adoption, which currently makes up 8.5% of new vehicle sales in India.
Geopolitical developments in West Asia are impacting India's road infrastructure, while Northeastern Electric Power Corporation Limited is undergoing a power sector review.
