The Indian government has announced a significant increase in the allocation of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas for key industries, restoring supplies amid an easing of tensions in West Asia. According to a letter from the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, LPG allocations for critical sectors such as pharmaceuticals, food, and agriculture have been raised to 70% of their pre-March 2026 average consumption levels. Additionally, the natural gas allocation for the fertilizer industry has been increased to 95% of the last six months' average consumption. This decision comes after the government had previously prioritized LPG supplies for household cooking due to supply disruptions caused by geopolitical conflicts in the region. Since March 14, approximately 93,085 tonnes of commercial LPG, equivalent to over 4.9 million 19-kg cylinders, have been sold. The government is also directing refineries to supply a combined 800,000 tonnes per day of propane, butane, and other essential molecules to critical sectors, responding to demands from the pharmaceutical industry for increased supplies to meet domestic needs.
