India plans to significantly increase its LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) purchases from the United States, with reports citing a projected doubling of current US volumes. The increase is presented as part of a broader effort to cut dependence on Gulf countries, following disruptions and heightened uncertainty linked to West Asia conflicts. Data referenced by one outlet, citing commodity-tracking firm Kpler, indicates that India’s LPG imports from the US have risen sharply since the start of the US-Iran conflict, after a small dip in April. Supplies from other origins are also described as part of India’s diversification strategy, including LPG sourced from countries such as Argentina, Nigeria, and Malaysia. The expansion of US supply is also linked to India’s energy planning, including the ability to build or strengthen a 30-day strategic LPG reserve. Overall, the reports frame the shift as both a supply-chain diversification measure and a step toward strengthening energy ties with the US, while also supporting trade balance goals.

- India is increasing LPG imports from the US, with reports stating purchases are set to double.
- The shift is aimed at reducing reliance on Gulf countries amid West Asia-related disruptions.
- Import growth from the US has been strong since the start of the US-Iran war, according to data cited by Kpler.
- Supplies are also reported from other countries including Argentina, Nigeria, and Malaysia.

Energy imports from the US have gained importance, particularly following the West Asia conflict, helping reduce the trade imbalance between the two countries. Besides the US, India has also sourced LPG from Argentina, Nigeria and Malaysia. Data from Kpler shows that India’s LPG imports from America have grown substantially since the US-Iran war began. After a marginal dip in April, the supplies have steadily climbed.
