Modi Warns of Economic Turmoil Amid LNG Crisis from West Asia Conflict

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has escalated his warnings regarding the economic ramifications of the West Asia conflict, pinpointing specific risks to India's economy, energy security, and the safety of its citizens abroad. His remarks come as the global liquefied natural gas (LNG) crisis deepens, with ongoing shutdowns at Qatar's Ras Laffan facility and the Strait of Hormuz resulting in a staggering loss of around 7 million tonnes of LNG per month—nearly 2% of the global supply. This situation complicates India's energy challenges, as traders adjust expectations for supply and prices amidst heightened geopolitical tensions, further illuminating the interconnectedness of regional instability and domestic economic concerns.
