India is facing a worsening energy crisis as shortages of gas and petrol continue to disrupt daily life, with critics blaming government policies for aggravating the situation.

According to a report published by Khaleej Times, the ongoing tensions in the Gulf region have contributed to a global energy crunch. However, analysts argue that domestic policy decisions by the government of Narendra Modi have intensified the impact on the Indian public.

The report highlights that a severe shortage of gas has forced low-income households to revert to traditional fuels such as wood and coal for cooking. At the same time, the prices of available gas in the market have risen sharply, adding to the financial burden on consumers.

In addition, petrol shortages have led to long queues at fuel stations across various cities, causing significant disruption to daily routines and transportation. Citizens are reportedly facing delays and difficulties in accessing basic fuel supplies.

Experts say that rising inflation combined with the ongoing energy crisis has made it increasingly difficult for ordinary people to afford essential items. The situation has raised concerns about the overall economic stability and living standards in the country.

Observers believe that the government’s policies and priorities have played a role in worsening the crisis. Some analysts also point to regional diplomatic challenges as a contributing factor behind the current energy shortages.
