India's coordinated, concerted effort shielded citizens during Hormuz energy disruption, says Amitabh Kant

India's ability to maintain normal life despite an "extraordinary" global energy crisis underscores a model of coordinated governance and digital delivery that will anchor future supply resilience, Amitabh Kant, Former CEO, NITI Aayog & India's former G20 Sherpa, said in an exclusive conversation with ANI.

"India imports almost 86 per cent of its fossil fuel... almost 60 percent of its LPG. In any other country this would have created chaos... complete breakdown of the economy," Kant said. "To my mind, India has handled this in an extraordinary manner, probably even better than how COVID was managed because it ensured that the life of the common man and the inflationary impact... did not hit the common man at all."
