Can Modi KILL the OIL Mafia? | Geopolitical Case Study

⭐️ Think School’s flagship Communication course with live doubt sessions :

VIDEO INTRODUCTION:
Once, a great man said, ‘He who controls oil… controls the world.’
And every time we forget it, the oil mafia of the world reminds us—by choking the global economy and throwing nations into chaos.
In 2022, Russia cut off Europe’s gas supply that sparked a wave of inflation so bad that it reached every corner of the globe including India.
In 2023, OPEC raised oil prices during the Israel-Hamas war and it pushed India to the brink of a recession.
And This isn’t just happening now, it has been happening since the last 70 years, oil-producing nations have weaponized energy to dominate the world whenever they want!!!
And everytime they show their power, India becomes their victim for no reason at all!!. Now if you think this is just another geopolitical issue that doesnt affect you, look at this, every time the cost of oil spikes, it directly burns a hole in your pocket!!!
In 2022, during the Ukraine crisis, crude Oil prices surged to $120 per barrel, as a result, inflation in India shot up to 7.8%, and to control this inflation– RBI increased the interest rates. So how does it burn a hole in the common man’s pocket. ??
Look at this! In May 2022, if someone had taken a ₹30 lakh loan from SBI for 10 years at 6.65% interest, their monthly EMI would be ₹34,294. But After the RBI rate hike to 8.9%, their EMI shot up to ₹37,841—which is a hike of ₹3,547 every month! And Over a year, this means ₹42,564 extra spent on EMIs. and when Millions of Indian families spend more on EMI,they go to restaurants less often, they buy less clothes, and the consumption in the economy slows down which pushes us into a recession!!
So oil is the lifeblood of the Indian economy, but the problem is that India does not have oil!!! And every time India suffers a setback, all of us think, ek tel kuwa toh kya maza aajatta!!! If India has oil, India would race to become a developed nation!!!! Right?? you know what guys, I have some great news for you!! India has found oil right here in our land!!!! but This oil is not coming from our ground, it is coming from Sugar!!! Yes Sugar!! And the same commodity which was going to waste in our warehouses it is now turning into the white gold for India!!!!
So the question is,
How on earth can we make oil with sugar?
Why is Sugar suddenly being called the White gold of India?
how will it push India towards the dream of a Viksit Bharat???
Where are the biggest opportunity for entrepreneurs like you and me??

Loved the opening of " once a cunning man said..." Because we don't have to glorify a mass murderer like Churchill to learn from his actions. Kudos to you!

[dray]

Good one... you didn't mention one thing though, when we import petroleum, that money goes to a foreign country, but when we buy ethanol from within the country, that money stays in India and comes back to the market to boost consumption and domestic economy.

[Mayangone]

As an engineer who had worked in a distillery and a refinery, ethanol is not a long term answer to fuel. Sugar is a food product that cost much more to produce than oil from the ground. Ethanol has only 60% heating value vs. gasoline. Besides, farm lobbies twisted Obama's hand to substitute ethanol as Octane enhancer to replace MTBE. None of any portion of sugar cane is discarded. My dad and friends used molasses to supplement soy sauce making.

This case study is blessing...lots of positives for future India..

[malleswarchaviti]

One fundamental question: In this case study, Ganesh mentioned that the cost of petrol production is roughly ₹47, while the current petrol price in Andhra Pradesh is ₹109.75. Even if we switch entirely to ethanol, the cost variation would be only around ₹17 per liter assuming same tax from central and state govt on ethanol as on petrol.

I agree that even a ₹10 difference can have a significant impact. However, we must also consider that ethanol is only about 60% as efficient as petrol. This means that mileage and power output would be lower with ethanol, which affects its overall cost-effectiveness.

[ashishkumarchoubey]

The day fuel becomes 30 rupees per litre, State govt will impose 100% tax on it and Central Govt 50% and lo and behold, fuel now will cost 75 rupees per litre. Fuel is a tax pipeline for govts of India. For eg., CNG was 30rupees per kelg in 2019 and today it's almost 90 because govts imposed taxes on it. The only ones who are going to make profits from cheaper fuel is the govt

[apratimpatra]

Frankly Ethanol blending is not a good solution in long term. We need to focus on algae bio fuel or seaweed bio fuels. Yes it may seems expensive in short term, but have potential to be India become energy independent.
Definitely we should look into it. Subsequently government need to take 4 steps towards energy independence -
1. Rooftop solar power to every Indian household
2. Thorium based reactor
3. Offshore windmills
4 Seaweed biofuels
If government really take these 4 initiatives, I can guarantee you that nobody can stops us to becoming super power 😊😊

[anindya_manna]

Man I can't with your pronunciation of percent - "persunt".
Cracks me up every time. 😂

[ThePratik]

but sugarcane need lots of water to grow and in india there is water shortage

[anakin_black]

Repeat after me - Fuel prices are never going to go down for the common man!

[amangarg]

india also found (17billion barrels) approx of oil in adaman and nicobar island areas which were prohibited by the government because of defence, aerospace and drdo but in 2022 they release 99% area now we also found oil of 70 years of our requirement the rig also arrived just the extraction left .
the best solution is to just found more and more oil in our unexplored areas.
Edit- one reply to people who say this oil will lead to more carbon emissions and paris agreement so western countries promised 100 billion dollar to developing countries to fight against carbon emissions but did they gave that money ? They did all the carbon emissions in the past and now want to curb it as it's not in their agenda why they don't give us nuclear technology and make us nuclear association member so that we can shift to cleaner fuel we should extract it and make us developed when we have money our cities can be more livable as their are funds which are formerly used in buying crude

[vivekreddy]

The moment he said "you have good news"
I lost my wifi connection...
Ethonal is not a solution..

[alokrai]

I worked on 3g bioethanol, and extremophilic conditions, it have great scope. Lots of challenges, in mid of work circumstances make me cry to quit my work -8 years back.

[samwithgoku]

Thanks for the insight
As an indian it feels good to hear about these progressive steps

[nirvana]

Ethanol isn't sustainable souce of energy, sugarcane needs a lot of water and also incentivises farmers to grow sugarcane while ignoring other necessary grains and commodities...

[vinayprajapati]

I like how you went straight to topic and explained👍🏻

[kaushikmukherjee]

Have you ever got a chance to drive an ethanol car? I was in Brazil. Car power dropped significantly. Ethanol can be the second choice...but you can't replace petrol

[parveenbhardwaj]

You making it sounds soo amazing but infact its not.. India is already blending fuel with ethanol without telling its citizens making our average poor and engines require more service... Even if we achieve target of 20% citizens will be transferred 0% benefits as govt taxes will never comes down.. so we will continue paying more, poor average, increase car service cost while govt keeps making fortunes to pay for freebies and election

[BiriyaniLover-luni]

All these things are like heaven only on paper.... But in India when it's time for implementation it takes time😢
