India concerned but not worried about Red Sea crisis: Petroleum minister

The minister, while speaking at the curtain-raising event of India Energy Week, said the government is in constant discussion with the concerned people about the issue. Puri mentioned that there are several non-state actors who are working on it, and we need to convince ourselves that they are acting on their own.

"But I'm convinced that everybody now wants to bring the situation under relative calm," said the minister.... Does it affect the trade of any country, including India? Obviously, it affects me.

But am I worried about that effect? No, I'm not.
