New Delhi: A months-old social media prediction by an astrologer about a possible fuel shortage in India has resurfaced online, prompting mixed reactions from users as reports of commercial LPG supply disruptions circulate in several cities.
The prediction was originally shared in September 2025 by astrologer Prashanth Kini on the platform X (formerly Twitter). In the post, Kini suggested that India could face shortages of fuel and natural gas after March 2026 due to disruptions in supply chains.
Following recent discussions about limited availability of commercial LPG cylinders in some areas, the astrologer reshared his earlier message on March 11, drawing attention to the forecast he had made months ago. The repost quickly gained traction online, with users sharing varied reactions ranging from curiosity to skepticism.
Some social media users asked whether the prediction was truly accurate and whether the astrologer could provide further insights into how long such a shortage might last. Others responded humorously, joking about his forecasting abilities while waiting to see whether the claim would actually materialize.
The renewed attention comes at a time when global energy markets are experiencing uncertainty due to ongoing tensions in West Asia. The conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran has disrupted energy supply routes and raised concerns about the movement of oil and gas shipments.
One of the most sensitive areas affected by the situation is the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow maritime passage through which a significant share of the world’s oil exports passes. Heightened tensions in this region have already influenced shipping activity and energy supply chains.
While the viral prediction continues to generate discussion online, experts say the reported LPG shortages are more directly linked to global supply challenges and geopolitical tensions rather than astrological forecasts. Nonetheless, the resurfaced post has become a talking point across social media platforms as users debate coincidence versus prediction.
