How disrupted are India’s supply chains?

Six things that can interrupt a supply chain into India, measured daily and each compared against its own normal — the sea lanes cargo crosses, the factory calendars of the countries you buy from, the prices of the inputs underneath it, and the rules, weather and demand around them.

What you’re looking at

Six things that can interrupt a supply chain into India, each scored against its own normal.

  • Trade routes — the chokepoints and Indian ports your cargo crosses.
  • Source countries — holidays, hazards and sanctions where you buy from.
  • Input prices — world benchmarks for crude, gold, urea, DAP and palm oil.
  • Demand — export markets abroad, and consumption at home.
  • Trade rules — sanctions designations and new trade measures.
  • Hazards — floods, cyclones and earthquakes near the chain.

0 to 32 is normal, 33 to 66 worth watching, 67 to 100 disrupted. It is a pressure gauge, not a forecast: a 60 is not a 60% chance of anything, and it says nothing about how exposed your particular business is. How the scoring works.
