India's LPG Imports Shift as US Supply Increases and Gulf Shipments Decline
India's LPG import sources have shifted notably in 2026, with the United States becoming the largest supplier, accounting for around 67-73% of imports by mid-year. This change follows disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz amid the US-Iran conflict, leading to a decline in supplies from Gulf countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait. India, which imports about 60% of its LPG, has diversified its sources to enhance energy security, supported by long-term agreements with the US.
