A man carries an empty LPG cylinder for refilling at a gas agency in Sopore, Jammu and Kashmir, India, on March 14, 2026. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) traffic through the corridor is severely disrupted due to the current crisis in the Middle East, with cargo movements stalling and importers scrambling for replacements. For a country like India, where a large share of a welfare-sensitive fuel depends on seaborne imports, the global shock quickly becomes a domestic allocation problem.

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.
