Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, peaceful protests occurred in Yellareddy city in the Kamareddy district of Telangana state, India, in response to the suspension of a BRS party legislator. Protesters conducted demonstrations at major intersections against the state government and burned effigies of the Chief Minister, with the risk level assessed as low.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Telangana state is a major pharmaceutical and IT hub in India, and traffic blockades near Hyderabad could cause temporary delays in technology components and pharmaceutical supply chains
• The Kamareddy-Yellareddy region is agriculture-focused, with limited expected impact on cotton, rice, and other agricultural product transportation, though no major arterial road blockades have been reported to date
• If political protests escalate, there is potential impact on accessibility to the major logistics route between Hyderabad and Mumbai (NH65)

3) Watch points

• Need to observe whether political conflicts in the Telangana State Assembly intensify and the possibility of further protest expansion
• Continuous monitoring of traffic conditions at Hyderabad International Airport (RGIA) and access routes to major highways (NH44, NH65)
