Did astrologer's 5-month-old prediction on fuel shortage come true? Social media split over claim

An old social media post by an astrologer predicting a fuel shortage in India has resurfaced online, drawing widespread attention amid reports of commercial LPG shortages in several cities.

The tweet was originally posted in September 2025 by astrologer Prashanth Kini on X (formerly Twitter). In the post, he predicted that India could face disruptions in fuel and natural gas supplies after March 2026 due to supply chain issues.

“India will face fuel and natural gas shortage after March 2026… Supply chain disrupt,” Kini had written at the time.

As news of LPG shortages began circulating recently, Kini re-shared the same post on March 11, highlighting his earlier prediction. “This prediction I made almost 5 months back…!!” he wrote while reposting the tweet.

The resurfaced prediction quickly gained traction on social media, with users reacting with curiosity and humour. Some questioned whether the forecast would come true, while others asked the astrologer if he could predict when the shortage might end.

“Can you predict now? When will it be solved?” one user commented, while another joked, “Bro is the final boss of astrology.” A third user wrote, “Let’s see what actually happens after March 2026.”

Meanwhile, the LPG shortage has been linked to disruptions in global energy supply chains triggered by the ongoing conflict in West Asia. The conflict, which began with joint strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran, has entered its 13th day and is impacting key shipping routes.

In particular, tensions around the Strait of Hormuz — a crucial oil transit route — have affected the movement of energy supplies, raising concerns about fuel availability in several countries, including India.
