To protect against potential supply disruptions in the Gulf, the Indian government is in high-level discussions with the United States to secure specialized marine insurance cover for oil vessels. With the West Asia crisis threatening traditional energy routes, New Delhi is looking to provide a safety net for buyers and traders of crude oil and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). Government officials confirmed that the primary goal is to maintain a steady energy supply while insulating the economy from sudden spikes in insurance premiums. These talks are part of a broader diplomatic effort to ensure that India’s energy security remains intact despite the rising geopolitical volatility in the Persian Gulf.
