Business Today’s latest issue turns a sharp lens on one of India’s most critical yet under-addressed vulnerabilities: Energy security in an increasingly volatile global environment. Triggered by recent geopolitical disruptions, the edition examines how external shocks are exposing deep structural gaps in India’s oil and gas ecosystem—far beyond short-term supply concerns. At its core, the issue examines the widening gap between India’s rising energy demand and limited domestic production, driven by policy complexity, regulatory inconsistencies, and weak incentives that have constrained exploration and deterred investment—leaving vast hydrocarbon potential untapped and the system heavily import-dependent. It also assesses recent reforms and strategic choices as India balances energy security with sustainability, highlighting the urgent need to boost domestic output, strengthen supply resilience, and adopt a more cohesive, forward-looking approach to its energy future.
