India Increases Domestic LPG Production Amid Festive Demand and Gulf Supply Disruptions
India's state-owned refiners have increased domestic liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) production to about 44,000 tons per day, nearly 20% higher than August's average, to meet rising demand during the festive season amid supply disruptions from the Persian Gulf conflict. The country, the world's second-largest LPG importer, has diversified imports with increased shipments from the US, Africa, and Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. Improved supply has reduced refill wait times for rural households, while demand is expected to remain below last year's levels due to reduced industrial consumption.
