Current Critical Fuel Shortage Countries (2026)
Nepal — 10 days diesel, critical shortage, supply rationing active
Bangladesh — 14 days diesel, emergency imports, grid load-shedding
Sri Lanka — 18 days petrol, government price controls
Pakistan — 21 days overall, currency shortage limiting imports
Philippines — 22 days diesel, vessel diversions from Hormuz
Australia — 26 days diesel (below IEA 90-day obligation)
Thailand — 28 days petrol, strategic reserves activated
Japan — 90 days strategic petroleum reserve, monitoring status
South Korea — 95 days, diversified LNG sourcing active
What is the Fuel Security Index (FSI)?
The FSI is a 0–10 score combining reserve depth, import dependency, government response posture, and supply trajectory. Scores above 7 indicate critical shortage risk. The index updates every 30 minutes from live news and official data.
Why are fuel reserves falling in 2026?
Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz to tanker traffic on 2026-02-28 following escalation of the Iran-US conflict. The Strait carries approximately 21 million barrels per day — 20% of global oil supply. Countries dependent on Persian Gulf imports are drawing down strategic reserves while seeking alternative supply routes via the Cape of Good Hope.
