Abstract

The Strait of Hormuz has gradually emerged as a significant region in terms of the economic and geopolitical patterns of the world powers. In the contemporary power struggles, it has become a most important contesting ground for global dominance. Global supply chains are increasingly  shaped by geopolitical risks, particularly in critical maritime choke points such as the Strait of Hormuz. This research analyses the Geo strategic significance of The Strait of Hormuz and the interests of regional and great powers in it. Subsequently, this study examines India’s Geopolitics and Energy Security policy in response to the disruptions brought about by the US-Israel war on Iran. This study employs a qualitative analytical approach grounded in geopolitical theory and policy analysis. This study employs a qualitative analytical methodology based on policy analysis and geopolitical theory. Additionally, it evaluates India's diplomatic efforts, strategic petroleum reserves, diversification plans, and shifts to renewable energy. The findings indicate that although India has made significant strides in strengthening resilience, structural vulnerabilities still exist because of the country's substantial dependence on imports. This paper significantly contributes to the discourse on energy geopolitics by offering policy insights into strengthening India’s long-term energy security objectives
