A Nepali resident helps a woman carrying her child to transport half-filled LPG cylinders after receiving them from distribution centers amid a cooking gas shortage in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 13, 2026. The Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) distributes 7.1 kg cylinders to ensure more households have access and curb hoarding. Long queues form as people wait for hours, and while many manage to secure the half-filled cylinders, shortages persist for others. The distribution occurs amid global energy supply concerns linked to the conflict involving Israel and Iran, which disrupts shipping routes and affects fuel markets worldwide. Nepal imports cooking gas through India, and disruptions there add pressure on local supply.

West Bengal faces a significant LPG crisis like other states of India, affecting middle-class households due to surging demand, supply chain disruptions, and panic buying. The crisis is largely caused by disruptions in imports from West Asia, particularly due to conflicts impacting key shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz. With 60-67% of India's LPG imported from this region, shortages emerge, disrupting restaurants, hotels, and small businesses. There are long queues at agencies, rising black-market prices, and calls for rationing, with the state government protesting against the central government. A woman uses a pressure cooker on a gas stove burner to quickly cook rice amid the crisis in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on December 3, 2026.
