India Boosts LPG Production and Diversifies Imports to Manage Hormuz Supply Disruptions
India managed energy supply disruptions from the Strait of Hormuz closure by increasing domestic LPG production from 34,000 to 55,000 metric tonnes per day and expanding import sources from 27 to 41 countries. Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri highlighted that imports from the US now account for 67% of LPG supplies, supplemented by Algeria and others. This diversification and advance planning helped maintain uninterrupted domestic LPG availability. Meanwhile, Singapore's Energy Minister Tan See Leng warned of ongoing global energy risks and emphasized the need for resilience amid supply shocks.
