Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, BRS (Bharat Rashtra Samithi) party members conducted a peaceful protest at a major intersection in Pinapaka village, Kamam area, Telangana state, India. The protest criticized the state government and demanded the reinstatement of a BRS legislator who was suspended for remarks about the speaker during the Telangana Assembly budget session, but the severity level is low.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Potential temporary traffic congestion due to protests at major intersections in Kamam area, but given the peaceful nature of the demonstration, logistics disruption risk is limited
• Telangana state is a major agricultural and pharmaceutical industry hub in southern India, and sustained political instability could impact supply chains for agricultural products such as cotton and rice
• Currently no direct impact on specific raw materials or major logistics routes, but monitoring of transportation networks connecting major industrial cities like Hyderabad will be necessary if protests spread

3) Watch points

• Track additional protest plans by BRS party within Telangana state and whether scale expands
• Monitor major highway and railway operations between Hyderabad-Chennai and Hyderabad-Mumbai
