Having diversified its sources of imports, New Delhi, however, is unlikely to lose sleep even if the Strait is shut down, as alternative sources - from Russia to the US and Brazil - are readily available to fill any void, industry officials and analysts oil is logistically detached from the Strait of Hormuz, flowing via the Suez Canal, Cape of Good Hope, or the Pacific Ocean. Even US, West African, and Latin American flows - though costlier - are increasingly viable backup gas, India's principal supplier Qatar does not use the Strait of Hormuz for supplies to India.

While crude oil is turned into fuels like petrol and diesel in refineries, natural gas is used for generating electricity, making fertilisers, and turned into CNG for running automobiles or piped to household kitchens for is a Factbox on the Strait of Hormuz and the emerging energy scenario:: The Strait of Hormuz connects the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. The narrow channel, approximately 21 miles (33 kilometres) wide at the narrowest point, separates Iran (north) from the Arabian Peninsula (south). But shipping lanes in the waterway are even narrower - two miles wide in each direction, making them vulnerable to attacks and threats of being shut Strait of Hormuz is of great strategic and economic importance, especially as oil tankers collecting from various ports on the Persian Gulf must pass through the strait. It serves as the maritime artery through which a fifth of the world's oil and gas flows. In 2024, daily shipments averaged 20.3 million barrels of oil and 290 million cubic meters of LNG, according to data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).The bulk of oil exports from regional powerhouses - Saudi Arabia, Iraq, UAE, Qatar, Iran, and Kuwait - must transit this narrow the past, it was the West - chiefly the US and Europe - that stood most exposed to disruption in Persian Gulf energy flows but today it is China and Asia that would bear the brunt of any to the EIA, 82 per cent of the crude oil and condensate exports passing through the Strait of Hormuz in 2022 were destined for Asia, with India, China, Japan, and South Korea accounting for 67 per cent of total flows in 2022 and the first half of imports about 90 per cent of its crude oil, with over 40 per cent of those imports originating from Middle Eastern countries whose exports transit the Strait of International Energy Agency (IEA) has stated that any disruption to flows through the Strait would have significant consequences for world oil has only made noise so far about closing the Strait, but has never shut it time around too, some Iranian leaders have reportedly called for disrupting oil transit in retaliation for US involvement in Iran's conflict with the Iran-Iraq war from 1980 to 1988, both nations targeted commercial vessels in the Gulf in what came to be known as the Tanker War - yet the Strait of Hormuz was never fully 2011 and 2012, Iranian officials, including then-Vice President Mohammad-Reza Rahimi warned of a potential closure of the waterway if the West slapped further sanctions on its oil exports over its nuclear in 2018 threatened to shut the Strait of Hormuz when tensions spiked following the US withdrawal from the nuclear deal and the reimposition of 2019, four ships were attacked near the Strait of Hormuz, off the coast of Fujairah in the UAE, amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States during Donald Trump's first term. Washington blamed Tehran for the attacks, but Iran denied the April 2024, Iranian armed forces seized a container ship near the Strait of Hormuz, amid escalating regional tensions following a deadly Israeli strike on Iran's consulate in Damascus, experts consider a prolonged Strait of Hormuz disruption less likely due to the US naval presence. Besides hurting exports of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait and Qatar, any Iranian closure of the Strait of Hormuz would affect its exports as Iranian hardliners have threatened closure, and state media have warned of oil spiking to USD 400 per barrel, analysis by global trade analytics firm Kpler assigns "a very low probability" to a full blockade, citing strong disincentives for Iran's largest oil customer (which imports 47 per cent of its seaborne crude from the Middle East Gulf), would be directly impacted. The world's second-largest economy is the number one importer of Iranian oil, reportedly accounting for over three-quarters of its oil reliance on Hormuz for oil exports via Kharg Island (handles 96 per cent of its exports) makes self-blockade Tehran has made deliberate efforts over the past two years to rebuild ties with key regional actors, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, both of which rely heavily on the Strait for exports and have publicly condemned Israel's actions. Sabotaging their flows would risk unravelling those diplomatic gains.A closure would also provoke international military retaliation. Any Iranian naval build-up would be detectable in advance, likely triggering a preemptive US and allied response, according to Kpler. "At most, isolated sabotage efforts could disrupt flows for 24-48 hours, the estimated time required for US forces to neutralise Iran's conventional naval assets."Any such move would provoke military retaliation and diplomatic fallout with Oman, undermining Iran's own backchannels with the USAt most, Iran might attempt short-term sabotage operations that disrupt flows for 24-48 hours, not a prolonged shutdown, Kpler said."Despite repeated threats, Iran has never closed the Strait of Hormuz due to the strategic and economic costs," said Hitesh Jain, Strategist, Institutional Equities Research at Yes Tehran uses the threat as a diplomatic oil prices surged following Israel's wave of attacks on Iranian military leaders, residential buildings, army bases and nuclear sites on June 13. Tehran responded with hundreds of ballistic missiles. The escalation led to a spike in oil prices, reflecting increased geopolitical risk and supply disruption Brent crude oil prices have shot up to USD 77 per barrel, up 10 per cent since the conflict analysts at Goldman Sachs warn that oil prices could exceed USD 90 if the conflict crude prices could surge to nearly USD 90 a barrel if the Strait of Hormuz were closed, analysts at Citigroup agency Icra said any escalation in the conflict in the area could significantly impact sources about 40 per cent of its supplies from Middle East nations such as Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait.

Corporate travel, MICE, live events to boost operating performance of hospitality industry: Report
New Delhi [India], June 22 (ANI): The hospitality industry will maintain strong operating performance in the near term, supported by strong corporate travel, MICE activity, live events, and a buoyant wedding season, according to a report by Antique Stock Broking Limited. As per the report, medium-term growth of the industry is expected to be driven by sustained demand-supply imbalances and a healthy pipeline of new hotel additions. The hospitality sector has significantly benefited by the increased demand from the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) sector. 'The hospitality industry should continue to deliver strong operating performance in the near term aided by strong corporate demand, MICE, live events, and the wedding business,' the report added. This growth has resulted in a sharp increase in Average Room Rates (ARRs) and occupancy levels. The sector is expected to be in a long-term upcycle, supported by shifts in consumer preferences, rising disposable incomes, and increased travel spending, say several experts. In the fourth quarter, the large hotel firms reported strong demand, and they highlighted strong demand visibility for 1Q and FY26 driven by large-scale events, concerts, conferences and weddings. The hotel industry executives anticipate the strong rate growth momentum to continue in the near term, as highlighted in the report. Several reports say that the overall industry is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.4 per cent from FY24 to FY29, outpacing supply growth at 9 per cent. India's tourism sector, rich in heritage, culture, and diversity, is emerging as a global favourite and a key driver of economic growth. Recognising its potential for employment-led development, the Union Budget 2025-26 has allocated Rs 2541.06 crore to enhance infrastructure, skill development, and travel facilitation. A major initiative includes developing 50 top tourist destinations in partnership with states through a challenge mode, ensuring world-class facilities and connectivity. As per the government data, the tourism sector's contribution to GDP regained the pre-pandemic level of 5 per cent in FY23. The tourism sector created 7.6 crore jobs in FY23. International tourist arrivals (ITAs) in India have rebounded to pre-pandemic level in 2023. The share of India's ITAs in World ITAs stands at 1.45 per cent in 2023. Foreign exchange earnings through tourism were 28 billion USD. India received 1.8 per cent of world tourism receipts and attained a rank of 14th worldwide in world tourism receipts during 2023.
