As the energy crisis intensifies due to the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran, India has taken proactive measures by signing critical agreements with the United Arab Emirates (UAE). During a brief two-hour visit to the UAE, Prime Minister Narendra Modi secured a deal for the supply of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), reinforcing India's position as the world's second-largest LPG importer. This agreement is particularly vital in light of recent global tensions affecting energy supplies. Alongside the LPG deal, India and the UAE also established a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) concerning strategic petroleum reserves, aimed at enhancing energy security for India. This move comes shortly after a hike in petrol and diesel prices in India by ₹3 each on May 15. Modi's visit, which included discussions with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, also resulted in agreements to strengthen the strategic defense partnership between the two nations and to develop a ship repair cluster in Vadinar, Gujarat. These collaborations signify a robust response to the challenges posed by the current geopolitical landscape.
