Where the pressure is on India's supply chains this week

Each segment reaches further from the centre the higher its score. A domain sitting near the hub is behaving normally; one pushing toward the outer ring is under real strain. The number in the middle is the weighted average of the domains that are live, with route counting double because it is the one with daily data behind it.

The composite is India-facing, not global. Route weights the chokepoints Indian trade actually crosses, Hormuz, Suez, Bab el-Mandeb, Malacca and the Cape, above the rest, and tracks Indian ports rather than world ports. Source tracks the production calendars of the countries India buys from. Commodity is the one exception: those are world benchmark prices, the same everywhere, though the selection leans towards what India imports most, crude, gold, urea, DAP and palm oil. So read the number as global conditions seen from an Indian warehouse.

It is a pressure gauge, not a forecast or a cost estimate. A 60 does not mean a 60% chance of anything, and it says nothing about how exposed your particular business is. Two importers reading the same 60 should act differently depending on what they buy and which lane it crosses.

Scores are always relative to that domain's own recent history, never to each other. A 50 in commodity prices and a 50 in route traffic both mean the same thing: about 20% away from normal. They do not mean the two risks are equally serious for your business, which depends on what you buy and where from.

Empty outlined segments are domains still being built. They are drawn so the shape of what is missing stays visible, and they are left out of the composite entirely rather than counted as zero.
