India Bans Civilian Fuel Purchases Amid Hormuz-Driven Supply Crunch
⛽ NEW DELHI — India bans civilian fuel buys. The blockade just reached a billion people. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: India rationing fuel is the first G20 domestic cascade from Hormuz closure — not a market signal but a policy emergency. New Delhi already absorbs Indian seafarer deaths from US strikes; now it absorbs civilian fuel cuts. This raises the political cost for Modi of staying publicly neutral. Watch whether India formally demands Hormuz reopening — that's a new pressure vector Washington cannot ignore.
