Event Summary

On July 30, 2026, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired the fourth special meeting of the India — Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) to review the geopolitical situation in West Asia and its impact on India's supply chains. The meeting focused on disruptions to maritime routes including the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the Black Sea, which are critical for India's energy and fertilizer imports. Ministers discussed measures to ensure uninterrupted supply of petroleum products, LNG, LPG, and fertilizers, and to safeguard Indian citizens and seafarers. The Cabinet Secretary reported that LPG procurement sources have been diversified and that crude oil availability has allowed refineries to operate above 100% utilization. The meeting also addressed threats from the Houthis to Saudi tankers and the decline in ship traffic through the Bab-el-Mandeb. Modi emphasized renewable energy and a whole-of-government approach to mitigate the crisis.
