Tel ka ubaal: $114 ka crude aur aam aadmi ki jeb
Paris ki sadkon se Dalal Street tak, ek hi cheez sabko hila rahi hai — mehnga tel. India ke liye sabak saaf hai: energy suraksha ab sirf economy ka nahi, social stability ka sawaal hai.
Aaj subah Brent crude $114 prati barrel ke upar trade ho raha tha — paanch mahine ka sabse uncha level. Analysts iski wajah Middle East mein supply bigadne ke darr ko bata rahe hain. Asar turant dikha: Sensex aur Nifty laal nishaan mein khule, aur IT shares sabse zyada pite.
Lekin tel ki keemat sirf ek market number nahi hai. France mein pichhle do hafte se mehngai ke khilaaf andolan chal raha hai — AFP ke mutabik Shanivaar ko lagbhag 1,000 log hirasat mein liye gaye aur desh bhar mein 70,000 security personnel tainaat the. Wahan ki report bata rahi hai ki February mein Middle East war shuru hone ke baad se fuel ki mehngai badhi hai. Jab petrol-diesel ka bill badhta hai, to gussa sadak par aata hai — chahe Paris ho ya Patna.
India apni zaroorat ka bada hissa import karta hai. Iska matlab hai ki har $10 ka uchhaal seedha current account, rupaye aur aakhir mein ghar ke budget par padta hai. Sarkar ke paas teen raaste hain: tax mein raahat dekar keemat sambhaalna, strategic reserves ka samajhdaari se istemaal, aur lambi daud mein renewable aur domestic energy par tezi se kaam.
Hamari raay saaf hai — short-term raahat zaroori hai, lekin asli jawab energy diversification hai. Jo desh tel ke jhatke ko jhel sakta hai, wahi apne logon ko sadak par utarne se rok sakta hai. France ki tasveeren ek chetavani hain, aur samajhdaar sarkaar chetavani ko waqt rehte padh leti hai.
