LPG Rate Update: Following the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz waterway, hopes are rising for some relief in LPG supplies. However, an immediate decline in prices appears unlikely. Let's take a look at the latest rates in your city.

LPG Price: Iran has decided to reopen the Strait of Hormuz waterway. This route had remained disrupted for approximately 47 days due to the conflict between the U.S. and Iran, an interruption that impacted the energy supplies of numerous countries.

Roughly 20 percent of the world's oil—along with a significant volume of LPG—passes through this very route. Consequently, its closure had heightened concerns regarding supply security for nations like India. Now, following Iran's announcement to reopen the strait, there is optimism that the situation will see some relief. In light of this, let's find out the latest LPG prices in major cities today.

Immediate Relief Unlikely Even After Reopening of Hormuz

Despite the reopening of the Hormuz waterway, there is little expectation of an immediate decline in gas prices. The reason behind this is that LPG supplies cannot return to pre-war levels so quickly.

Attacks on the major gas production hub located at Ras Laffan in Qatar have severely impacted approximately 17 percent of its LNG export capacity. It could take 3 to 5 years for this infrastructure to be fully restored. In such a scenario, the possibility of an immediate reduction in prices appears slim.
