Puri says India has insulated itself from crude supply shocks
In short
Hardeep Singh Puri said India has so far been protected from crude oil and natural gas supply shocks linked to the West Asia crisis and Strait of Hormuz tensions. He said India now buys crude from 41 countries and has boosted LPG production at home.
This matters because energy supply problems can affect fuel costs and availability. The report does not say if prices have changed for consumers.
