India’s LPG Consumption Drops 16 pc in April Amid West Asia Supply Disruptions

May 5 (BNP): India’s liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) consumption declined sharply by 16% in April, as supply disruptions linked to escalating tensions in West Asia affected availability across both domestic and commercial segments.

According to official data, the fall in consumption reflects the impact of constrained supplies in global energy markets, which have been under pressure due to ongoing geopolitical conflict in the region.

The disruption has particularly influenced cooking gas distribution, leading to reduced usage in household kitchens as well as commercial establishments dependent on steady LPG supply.

Authorities continue to monitor the situation as external supply conditions remain volatile amid continuing instability in West Asia.
