A man walks past an empty fuel station in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on March 26, 2026. Concerns over potential supply disruptions linked to the ongoing U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran have led to long queues at petrol pumps across Kashmir, despite authorities stating there are no shortages. The panic buying is driven by fears of disruptions in global oil supply, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz, a key transit route for a significant share of India's crude imports. Recent data indicates that approximately 40% of India's oil imports have traditionally passed through this route, making it sensitive to geopolitical tensions.
