India’s liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) import mix is shifting after disruptions in West Asia, with the United States emerging as the largest supplier. NDTV reports that the US supplies account for about 67% of India’s LPG imports following the Hormuz-related crisis. The Hindu adds that, prior to the conflict in West Asia, India relied on imports for roughly 60% of its LPG needs, and about 90% of those imports transited through the Strait of Hormuz. Times of India provides additional detail on the change in sourcing: it says the US overtakes Gulf suppliers in July, when the US accounts for 73% of India’s LPG imports, up from 12% in January. It also notes a sharp fall in Gulf-linked supply volumes, including a drop in imports from Kuwait to 33,000 tonnes (down 43% from June) and Qatar supplying 19,000 tonnes. NDTV further says India increases domestic LPG production to offset reduced imports from Gulf suppliers, with Union Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri citing this adjustment as part of the response.
