Ajit Doval, UAE & Fujairah: India's Silent Oil Masterstroke To Future-Proof Energy Supply
The biggest moves in geopolitics are never announced. They're negotiated behind closed doors, confirmed through timing, and revealed only when the world finally catches up. On April 26, 2026, Ajit Doval met UAE's President in Abu Dhabi. No statement. Forty-eight hours later, the UAE quit OPEC — after 60 years. Jaishankar had also met UAE leadership the same month. Same theme: energy, supply chains, regional instability. Then Hormuz was effectively shut by conflict. Then Fujairah — the UAE's Hormuz-bypass port — surged in activity. Then Abu Dhabi's oil company's crude, already stored in Mangalore, became suddenly more significant. This wasn't luck. This was India operating at its most sophisticated — quietly, precisely, and with consequences that will play out for decades. This video breaks down exactly what happened, why it matters, and why India just won a game most people didn't know was being played.
