Indian Diesel Diverts to Asia Amid Houthi Threat

Indian diesel exports are undergoing a strategic redirection as the threat posed by Houthi rebels imperils flows to Europe. This shift in export destinations has led to a surge in Indian diesel flooding markets in Asia, marking a significant change in trade patterns for the country's energy exports.

The Houthi threat, particularly to European routes, has prompted Indian exporters to seek alternative markets, with Asia emerging as a primary destination. The redirection of diesel exports to Asia reflects a proactive response to geopolitical challenges, ensuring the uninterrupted flow of Indian energy resources to global markets.

The surge in Indian diesel exports to Asia is notable for its impact on regional markets, influencing supply and demand dynamics. This strategic shift also underscores the adaptability of India's energy trade strategies in the face of geopolitical uncertainties, demonstrating the country's resilience in navigating complex global energy landscapes.

As Indian diesel finds new markets in Asia, the Houthi threat continues to reshape the dynamics of international energy trade. The strategic redirection not only safeguards Indian interests but also contributes to the stability of global energy markets, highlighting the interconnectedness of geopolitical events and the energy trade landscape.

Why do pavements fail?

India’s highways continue to expand at a healthy pace. But conversations on the surface quality of highways are growing louder because major deficiencies and black spots continue to be identified, and they are cause for concern.“Road surface roughness causes vehicle vibrations that, in turn, can affect the performance of drivers,” explains Dr V K Gahlot, Road Safety Auditor, Centre for Research and Sustainable Development (CfRSD). “Continuous exposure may induce fatigue, a contributory factor to road accidents. Road surface roughness also affects the vehicle operating cost...
