India Increases US LPG, LNG Imports Amid Gulf Supply Disruptions and Diversifies Crude Sources
India has significantly increased its imports of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States due to supply disruptions from traditional Gulf suppliers amid the ongoing West Asia conflict. Imports from Gulf countries like the UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia have sharply declined following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Concurrently, Indian refiners are diversifying crude oil sources, reducing Russian imports affected by Ukrainian attacks, and exploring supplies from West Africa, the Americas, and Venezuela to mitigate geopolitical risks and meet rising domestic demand.
