India Boosts LPG Production and Diversifies Imports to Mitigate 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 diversifying import sources from 27 to 41 countries. The United States became the largest LPG supplier, accounting for 67% of imports, supplemented by Algeria and others. These measures ensured uninterrupted domestic LPG availability despite geopolitical challenges. Meanwhile, LNG imports from Qatar rebounded after earlier declines, though rising global prices and regional conflicts have increased India's LNG import costs and dependence.
