Explained: Could Strait Of Hormuz Crisis Slow India Internet As Global Data Cables Face Risk?

Описание: The Strait of Hormuz is known as the world’s most critical oil route, but few people realise it is also a key pathway for the global internet. Beneath the seabed lies a dense network of submarine fibre-optic cables carrying emails, banking data, cloud traffic and global communications. For India, nearly one-third of westbound internet data travels through cable routes passing near this corridor. If conflict in West Asia disrupts the region, the impact may not be limited to oil markets. Experts warn that damage to multiple cables could slow global data traffic, increase latency and strain digital networks. Domestic internet inside India would continue working normally, but international connections could become slower. Governments and tech companies are now investing in new cable routes to reduce this risk. Because in today’s world, the flow of data is just as important as the flow of oil.
