India’s state-owned refiners increase production of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as demand rises with the start of the festive season. Multiple outlets report that refiners are stepping up LPG output to meet higher consumption for cooking fuel during this period.
The articles also point to continuing supply constraints tied to conflict in the Persian Gulf, which disrupts contracted shipments. While one report highlights the broader disruption affecting available supply, another notes that appetites for LPG are expected to remain around 10% below the same period last year. The lower demand level is attributed to reduced industrial usage during the war, which affects overall consumption patterns even as households increase usage for festivals.
