Tel $116 ke paar, aur Hormuz mein baaroodi surangein — Bharat ko ab 'intezaar karo' se aage ki niti chahiye
Hormuz mein tankeron par hamle aur Saudi tel thikaanon par Houthi daavon ne kachche tel ko phir ubaal par la diya hai. Bharat ke liye yeh sirf bazaar ki kahani nahi, aayaat bill, mehngaai aur urja suraksha ka sawaal hai.
Shukravaar subah Brent kachcha tel lagbhag $115.7 prati barrel par tha aur Business Recorder ki Reuters-aadharit report ke mutabik October mein ismein kareeb 14% ki badhat ki raah bani hui hai. WTI April ke baad pehli baar $100 ke upar mahine ka ant karne ki taraf hai. Wajah saaf hai: Iran ke IRGC ka daava ki Hormuz ke 'anadhikrit' dakshini raaste par teen tanker baaroodi surangon se takraakar jale, aur Houthiyon ka daava ki unhone Ras Tanura, Rabigh aur Abqaiq jaise Saudi thikaanon ko nishaana banaaya.
Bharat apni zaroorat ka bada hissa aayaat karta hai, isliye har dollar ki badhat seedhe aayaat bill, rupaye aur aakhir mein aam aadmi ki jeb tak pahunchti hai. HDFC Sky ki market report ne bhi Shukravaar ko kaha ki tel ki keemat ne Bharat ke import bill ko lekar chinta badhaayi. Yeh bhi gaur karne laayak hai ki Indian Oil ne isi din Rs 21,630 crore ka record-star munafa dikhaaya — yaani refining kampaniyon ke khaate fil-haal behtar hain, lekin graahak aur arthvyavastha par dabaav alag cheez hai.
Kootneeti ke morche par halki ummeed hai: America ke doot Tom Barrack ne kaha ki Washington aur Tehran 'timeout' ke 'bahut kareeb' hain, Qatar ke madhyasth phir Tehran pahunche hain. Lekin Iran ke Speaker Ghalibaf ki saat sharton aur dono pakshon ke beech 'pehle kya' ke vivaad se saaf hai ki raasta abhi lamba hai. Aise mein sirf samjhaute ke bharose baithna jokhim bhara hai.
Hamari raay mein Bharat ko teen kaam tezi se karne chahiye: kachche tel ke strategic bhandaar aur supply ke vikalpon ko aur faila kar rakhna, Hormuz se guzarne waale Bharatiya jahaazon aur naavikon ki suraksha par khuli aur niyamit jaankari dena, aur keemat ke jhatke ka bojh kaise baanta jaayega is par paardarshi niti rakhna. Sankat ka ant humare haath mein nahi, lekin uski taiyaari zaroor hai.
