Fear Of Fuel Shortage Triggers Panic Buying In Kashmir, India
An Indian Oil Corporation logo is pictured at a fuel station in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on March 25, 2026. Concerns over potential supply disruptions linked to the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran have led to long queues at petrol pumps across Kashmir. Rumors of a possible lockdown have triggered panic buying, driven by fears of fuel shortages in India. The Strait of Hormuz, a key transit route for a significant share of India's crude imports, is particularly sensitive to geopolitical tensions. Authorities, however, state there are no shortages. Recent data indicates that approximately 40% of India's oil imports have traditionally passed through this route. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto)
