Mineral oil is\u202f<\/span>unevenly distributed across the world<\/span><\/b>. The immense strategic importance of mineral oil and its lop-sided distribution across the globe have many\u202f<\/span>multi-dimensional implications such as:<\/span><\/b>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Economic implications<\/span><\/b>:\u00a0Uneven\u00a0distribution of the mineral oil across the world<\/span>, leads to economic consequences like inflation,\u202f<\/span><\/b>for the importing country. For example, India is\u202f<\/span>susceptible to global shocks in oil prices<\/span><\/b>.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Regional conflict<\/span><\/b>: As the\u202f<\/span>mineral oil resource is strategic in nature<\/span><\/b>, its uneven distribution leads to great power conflict over the control of the region. For example,\u202f<\/span>disputes in oil rich regions of middle East<\/span><\/b>.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Energy Security<\/span><\/b>:\u202f The\u202f<\/span>un-even distribution of the mineral energy resource<\/span><\/b>\u202fhas led to high degree of\u202f<\/span>energy insecurity in the oil deficient countries<\/span><\/b>. It also, directly affects their\u202f<\/span>strategic autonomy<\/span><\/b>.<\/span>\u202f<\/span><\/b>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Diplomatic\u202fleverage<\/span><\/b>\u202f<\/span>:\u202f<\/span><\/b>The\u202f<\/span>lop-\u202fsided\u202fdistribution\u202f<\/span><\/b>of the vital mineral oil resource is a vital factor in leveraging its availability for diplomatic gains. For example, India\u2019s major dependence on Middle East\u00a0for oil, provides it with a\u00a0<\/span>diplomatic\u00a0bargain<\/span><\/b>\u00a0over India.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Balance of Trade:\u202f<\/span><\/b>The\u202f<\/span>un-even distribution<\/span><\/b>\u202fof the\u202f<\/span>mineral oil resources<\/span><\/b>\u202faffects the balance of trade between the\u202f<\/span>importing and the exporting countries<\/span><\/b>. This in turn affects the\u202f<\/span>Foreign-exchange reserves of the country<\/span><\/b>.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Growth:\u202f<\/span><\/b>Un-even distribution of mineral oil also has led to\u202f<\/span>un-even growth<\/span><\/b>\u202facross the globe. Rise in import prices\u202f<\/span>directly hamper the capabilities<\/span><\/b>\u202fof the government to spend\u202f<\/span>on welfare objectives.<\/span><\/b>\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Vested interest in oil economy has potential to\u00a0<\/span>delay\u00a0transition to clean energy<\/span><\/b>\u00a0and decarbonizing the world industry.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Thus,\u00a0the un-even distribution of the mineral oil resources leads to\u202f<\/span>various implications ranging from economic to energy security\u00a0and\u00a0adoption of renewable energy sources<\/span><\/b>. This highlights the need for India to diversify its energy basket both in terms of content and geography.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
