Key sources indicate that India possesses sufficient reserves to withstand any disruptions resulting from the geopolitical tensions in the region. The minister emphasized that the country is well-prepared and has contingency plans in place to manage energy supply effectively. This reassurance comes as global markets react to the conflict, raising concerns over oil supply chains.
