India has reduced fuel taxes and strongly denied rumours of a nationwide lockdown. Here are the key points from the latest announcements:

⛽ Fuel tax cuts

The Indian government reduced excise duty on petrol from ₹13 per litre to ₹3 per litre.

Excise duty on diesel has been reduced from ₹10 per litre to zero.

The decision was taken to protect consumers and oil companies from the impact of rising global crude oil prices.

🌍 Why the decision was taken

Global oil prices surged due to tensions and conflict in the Middle East affecting supply routes such as the Strait of Hormuz.

The government chose to absorb part of the cost through lower taxes instead of passing the full burden to citizens.

🚫 Lockdown rumours

Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said the rumours of a nationwide lockdown are “completely false.”

He clarified that no such proposal is under consideration by the Government of India and urged people not to spread panic.

🛢️ Government assurance

Authorities say fuel supply is stable and there is no shortage of petrol or diesel in the country.

Steps like export taxes on certain fuels are also being used to ensure domestic availability.

No lockdown is planned in India.

Fuel taxes have been cut to control the impact of rising global oil prices.

🛢️ Hormuz Tension — India Not on Iran Restriction List, Oil Lifeline Safe for Now

India depends heavily on
Strait of Hormuz,
with about 50–60% of crude oil imports passing through this route, mainly from
Iraq,
Saudi Arabia,
United Arab Emirates, and
Kuwait.

Any restriction in the strait could affect India’s fuel supply, shipping costs, and petrol-diesel prices.
Recent data shows around half of India’s crude imports transit Hormuz, making the route critical for energy security.

Recent reports also say Iran has kept the strait open for most countries while warning enemies like the US and Israel, so countries like India are monitoring the situation closely.

Shock: Iran Sets Yuan Condition for Oil Ships in Strait of Hormuz

Tension in the Middle East is rising after Iran signaled a major change in global oil trade.
Reports say Iran may allow only limited oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, but with one strong condition —
the oil must be traded in Chinese yuan instead of U.S. dollars.

According to officials, this move is part of Iran’s plan to reduce dependence on the American currency and strengthen economic ties with China.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important oil routes in the world, carrying nearly 20 percent of global oil supply.

Any restriction in this narrow sea route can affect oil prices, world economy, and global politics.
Sources say Iran has warned that ships crossing the strait without permission could face military risk, as the country claims full control over the waterway.

Reports also suggest that Iran has already allowed some ships linked to Asian countries to pass, while Western tankers are avoiding the area due to security fears.

Experts say if oil trade shifts from dollar to yuan, it could challenge the long-standing petrodollar system, which has dominated global energy trade for decades.

The situation comes amid growing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, raising fears that the crisis is not only a military war —
but also a hidden economic and currency war.
