NEW DELHI: India has barred piped natural gas customers from buying liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders with immediate effect, a government order dated Monday showed.
India has cut LPG supplies to some industries due to the shortage caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
New Delhi is pushing customers to use piped gas. India consumed 33.15 million metric tons of LPG, mostly used as cooking gas, in 2025, with imports accounting for about 60% of demand. About 90% of those imports came from the Middle East.
