India Seeks to Increase US LPG Imports to Diversify Supply and Support Trade Talks
India's state-owned refiners are negotiating to secure at least 15% of the country's 2027 liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) imports from the US, up from 10% this year, to diversify supply sources. This shift aims to reduce reliance on West Asia, which previously supplied over 90% of India's LPG, amid disruptions from the Iran conflict affecting the Strait of Hormuz. The move also supports trade talks with the US, with shipments from America reaching a record 3.9 million tons through August 2023.
