India Sets Maximum LPG Production Targets for Refineries to Strengthen Supply
The Indian government has set maximum daily LPG production targets for 24 refineries and upstream companies, totaling 63,810 tonnes, to strengthen domestic supply and reduce import dependence. Reliance Industries' older refinery received the largest quota of 18,000 tonnes per day. This move follows supply disruptions caused by the West Asia conflict, which exposed India's reliance on imports through the Strait of Hormuz. The order requires companies to maintain adequate storage and transport infrastructure and allows the government to direct increased production during supply constraints.
