The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has increased global concern. For the past 23 days, hostilities have been going on between Iran, America and Israel. As a result, the shortage of oil and gas is increasing day by day across the world. The impact of this situation is also being felt in India. To address this problem, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to hold an important meeting on Sunday (March 22, 2026). Several senior ministers of the government will participate in this meeting to review the country’s energy situation.
The meeting comes at a time when the geopolitical landscape in the Middle East is changing rapidly. In view of this, the government is taking proactive steps to keep the country free from any adverse impact. During the meeting, Prime Minister Modi will focus on important sectors like petroleum, crude oil, power and fertilizers. The government aims to ensure that the supply of these essential commodities continues without any disruption. In addition, discussions will be held on ensuring efficient transportation and distribution of goods across the country, thereby preventing any inconvenience to the general public and industry.
The Government of India is already taking steps to ensure energy security within the country and to prevent shortages of essential commodities. At the same time, the developments taking place at the global level are being constantly monitored to facilitate timely decision-making and protect the public interest. It is noteworthy that due to the ongoing conflict in Iran, hundreds of oil and gas tankers are stranded in the Strait of Hormuz. This vital waterway serves as a transport route for 20 percent of the world’s maritime trade. In this context, it is imperative for the Government of India to take timely and necessary steps to ensure that the citizens of the country do not face any inconvenience.
