CONSENSUS POINTS
- 1L'Inde fait face à sa pire crise énergétique depuis l'indépendance, avec 90% de ses importations de GPL bloquées
- 2La dépendance au détroit d'Ormuz est une vulnérabilité structurelle que les gouvernements successifs n'ont pas su réduire
- 3L'impact social est majeur : 330 millions de foyers dépendent du GPL pour la cuisine quotidienne
- 4La crise accélère la recherche d'alternatives (pipelines, diversification, gaz canalisé)

GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
La crise du GPL en Inde cristallise les tensions entre trois visions de l'ordre énergétique mondial. L'Occident défend le marché libre et propose ses exportations ; la Russie et la Chine promeuvent des infrastructures alternatives qui renforceraient la dépendance envers eux ; le Global South appelle à un système plus équitable. L'Inde, au carrefour de ces trois visions, pratique un non-alignement énergétique qui est simultanément mis à l'épreuve et renforcé par la crise. La dimension humaine est souvent absente des analyses géopolitiques : pour 330 millions de foyers indiens, la question n'est pas celle du pétrodollar ou de la BRI, mais celle du prochain repas.
