Expert Explains|Why Gulf energy may take weeks to stabilise even with a ceasefire
Indian Express·2h ago·Neutral
What Happened
A ceasefire in West Asia remains fragile with continued attacks on oil facilities. Even if the ceasefire holds, restarting Persian Gulf energy exports could take weeks. Around 500 tankers are stuck near the Strait of Hormuz. Technical repairs, supply coordination, and production restarts across fields and refineries will cause delays. The two-week ceasefire timeframe is insufficient for major global energy supply relief.
