India’s LPG Supply Shock Explained | West Asia War | US Iran War | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G

Описание: A war thousands of kilometres away has exposed a major vulnerability in India’s energy system — its dependence on imported cooking gas.
India relies heavily on LPG cylinders for everyday cooking. More than 300 million households and most restaurants depend on it. But nearly 60 percent of India’s LPG is imported, and a large portion of those shipments pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
With the waterway disrupted by the West Asia conflict, LPG shipments have slowed — triggering supply stress across parts of India. Restaurants, hostels and small eateries are already reporting shortages.
The government has responded by boosting domestic production and searching for alternative suppliers like the United States and Norway. But the crisis highlights a bigger challenge: India’s heavy reliance on overseas energy supplies.

For now, consumers are adapting with electric cookers and induction stoves. But the disruption raises a larger question — how resilient is India’s energy supply chain during global conflicts?
