India to Source Up to 25% of LPG Imports from US by 2027 to Diversify Supply
India plans to source up to 25% of its liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) imports from the United States by 2027 to reduce dependence on the Middle East and enhance energy security. This shift follows supply disruptions caused by the Iran conflict and the Strait of Hormuz closure earlier this year. State refiners Indian Oil Corp, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum are expected to issue tenders soon and may send a delegation to the US. Increased US energy purchases could support ongoing India-US trade negotiations aimed at narrowing India's trade surplus.
