India Restores Commercial LPG Supplies to Pre-Crisis Levels, Eases Bulk Restrictions
The Indian government has lifted all sectoral restrictions on commercial LPG supplies, restoring non-domestic packed LPG to pre-crisis levels following improvements in domestic production and imported LPG availability. Bulk LPG supplies, previously suspended during the West Asia conflict, have been partially resumed at 50% of pre-crisis consumption. These measures follow the easing of tensions after a US-Iran peace agreement and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The government continues to encourage commercial consumers to transition to piped natural gas (PNG) while maintaining data for efficient supply management.
