Shaktikanta Das says India can handle energy demand shocks but warns against one source dependency

One supply line can break resilience faster than expected

RBI governor Shaktikanta Das says India is better placed to absorb extreme energy demand shocks, but businesses must not bet on a single supply source. He points to the need for strategic reorientation as global supply chains remain disrupted. Infrastructure expansion and the push for renewables are seen as strengthening readiness, while diversifying markets and investing in R&D are key next steps.
