Kharcha Paani | Episode 1296 | 17th March, 2026
A simple glass of “shikanji” in Bangalore suddenly comes with an “extra gas crisis charge”—and that’s your first clue that a global energy disruption is quietly reaching your daily life. In this episode of Kharcha Paani, Shruti breaks down how rising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have disrupted LNG and propane supplies, triggering an LPG shortage that’s now hitting India’s most essential sectors—pharmaceuticals, fertilisers, and steel. From potential shutdowns in major pharma hubs producing critical medicines like paracetamol and antibiotics, to rising fertiliser prices ahead of the kharif season, and operational stress in steel plants, the ripple effects are real and growing. With experts warning of possible medicine shortages, increased costs, and supply chain disruptions, this video explains why a war happening far away could soon impact your health, your food, and your wallet.
