Recent geopolitical disruptions, particularly in West Asia, have highlighted India’s vulnerability to global supply chain shocks and the urgent need for long-term resilience.
Why Supply Chain Resilience is Critical for India?
Energy Dependence: India imports nearly 85% of its crude oil and more than 50% of its natural gas requirements.
Volatility in global energy markets directly impacts inflation, fiscal stability, and economic growth.
Food and Fertilizer Imports: India remains heavily dependent on imports of edible oils and pulses, exposing domestic markets to global price fluctuations.
The ongoing conflict in West Asia, has demonstrated the growing dominance of drones, missiles, and advanced technologies in modern warfare.
Saturation Warfare and Changing Military Strategy
Modern warfare is characterised by the growing use of low-cost, high-impact technologies such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), loitering munitions, swarm drones, and long-range precision strike systems.
Threat of Swarm Saturation: The deployment of hundreds of drones in a single coordinated attack has demonstrated the serious threat posed by swarm saturation.
