Event Summary

India has ordered tighter controls over natural and cooking gas supplies following import disruptions caused by the ongoing Middle East conflict, specifically affecting shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. The India===Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has prioritized LNG and LPG supplies to households and transport sectors, while curtailing supplies to other industries such as fertilizer plants, tea industries, petrochemical facilities, and power plants. This move has sparked warnings from the National Restaurant Association of India and hotel industry associations about widespread closures and operational disruptions due to a severe shortage of commercial LPG. India is a major global importer of both LNG and LPG, with a significant portion sourced from the Middle East. The situation has led to concerns about rising prices and the need for businesses to implement contingency plans.
