India Shifts Energy Imports as US Leads LPG and Oman Tops LNG Supplies
India's LPG and LNG import patterns shifted notably in the first half of FY27 and September, with the US becoming the top LPG supplier, displacing West Asian countries whose share fell sharply. Overall LPG imports declined 35 percent amid reduced domestic consumption. In September, Oman overtook the US as India's largest LNG supplier, while Qatar's share dropped significantly due to disruptions at its LNG hub. India continues diversifying energy sources amid geopolitical tensions affecting West Asian supplies.
