About This Dashboard

How and why we built India's real-time energy crisis tracker

India imports 89% of its crude oil. When the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran on February 28, 2026, it didn't just shake markets — it threatened the energy lifeline of 1.4 billion people.

This dashboard tracks the real-time impact of the West Asia conflict on India's energy security, economy, and daily life. It brings together live commodity prices, fuel costs, import dependency data, strategic reserve status, fertilizer supply disruptions, stock market impact, and the human cost of the conflict — all in one place, sourced from verified public data.

How is this built?

The dashboard pulls live data from multiple public APIs and official sources. Crude oil prices (Brent, WTI) are fetched from OilPriceAPI. Stock indices (NIFTY, SENSEX), gold, natural gas, forex rates, and individual oil company stocks (ONGC, Reliance, IOC, BPCL) come from Yahoo Finance.

Fuel prices (petrol, diesel, LPG, CNG, ATF) are taken from Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) and the Petroleum Planning & Analysis Cell (PPAC) under the Ministry of Petroleum. Economic indicators like CPI inflation come from the Ministry of Statistics (MOSPI), while forex reserves and current account deficit data are from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Fertilizer prices are sourced from the World Bank's commodity price data.

War casualty figures are compiled from Al Jazeera's live tracker, HRANA, IFRC, UNICEF, and statements from the IDF and US Department of Defense. Humanitarian impact data is sourced from UNHCR, OCHA, WFP, and Human Rights Watch.

Analysis and coverage from The Core is integrated across the dashboard.

How does the data stay current?

Live data auto-refreshes every 60 seconds. This includes crude oil prices, gold, natural gas, forex rates, stock indices, and oil company stocks. These are fetched directly from APIs and require no manual intervention.

Static data such as fuel prices, CPI inflation, forex reserves, fertilizer prices, casualty figures, and humanitarian data are updated manually when official sources release new numbers. Every data block carries its source attribution with clickable links to the original source.

Disclaimer: This dashboard is for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute financial, investment, or trading advice. Casualty figures are sourced from multiple agencies and presented as ranges, not definitive counts. War-related data reflects the fog of conflict and may be revised. The Core and its affiliates are not responsible for any decisions made based on this data. Always verify with official sources.
