Narendra Modi to lead Cabinet Committee on Security review on energy and supply risks
April 18, 2026: Amid escalating tensions in West Asia, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to chair a high-level meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security to assess the situation’s impact on India. The review, scheduled ahead of the regular Cabinet meeting, will focus on geopolitical developments following recent conflict and a temporary ceasefire in the region.
The discussions are expected to centre on potential disruptions to global supply chains, particularly oil and LPG, which are critical to India’s energy needs. Officials are closely tracking developments to evaluate risks to trade, energy security, and overall economic stability, amid concerns over prolonged uncertainty in the region.
Following the CCS meeting, the Cabinet is likely to deliberate on broader policy responses. The government’s priority remains ensuring uninterrupted supply of essential commodities while preparing contingency measures to safeguard national interests against any further escalation in West Asia.
