LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is a vital source of fuel for cooking in India; consequently, fluctuations in its price directly impact the common man’s budget. Therefore, staying informed about these prices is important.
LPG plays a significant role in the country, being the primary fuel used for cooking in everything from households to restaurants and roadside eateries (dhabas). Since it is an integral part of daily life, price fluctuations significantly affect household budgets. LPG cylinder prices change periodically, influenced by global energy price volatility, government decisions, and transportation costs. As India imports LPG on a large scale, conditions in the global market also directly impact domestic prices.

Shifting Landscape of LPG Imports for India
When the conflict in Iran disrupted energy supplies from Gulf nations, India turned to other countries. Amidst this shift, the United States emerged as the largest source of LPG for India. According to a Bloomberg News report, the US share of India’s LPG imports was merely 6% until last year, but it has now surged to over 20%. Consequently, the US has overtaken Gulf nations to become India’s largest LPG supplier.
