Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, BRS (Bharat Rashtra Samithi) party members conducted a peaceful protest demonstration in Andole village, Sangareddy district, Telangana state, India. The protest demanded the reinstatement of a BRS legislator who was suspended from the Telangana state assembly for remarks made against the Speaker, with the severity level assessed as low.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Telangana state is a major pharmaceutical and biotech hub as well as an IT services center in India, and continued regional political tensions could indirectly affect operations in related industries
• Temporary constraints on access to Hyderabad and nearby industrial complexes may occur, but no major transportation network disruptions have been reported to date
• Direct disruptions to logistics transportation or manufacturing operations are assessed as minimal at the peaceful protest level

3) Watch points

• Need to monitor the spread of political conflict between BRS and the ruling INC party and trends in additional protest plans
• Confirm access road conditions to major industrial complexes within Telangana state (Hyderabad, Secunderabad, etc.) and whether logistics transportation delays are occurring
