An elderly woman cooks rice on a newly built clay wood-fired stove in her house veranda while checking news updates on her phone about the possibility of obtaining an LPG connection in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on March 20, 2026. The resurgence of wood-fired stoves is being used by households and businesses as a response to the severe LPG shortage currently affecting India. The LPG supply squeeze has been ongoing for three weeks, with India importing 65% of the fuel, mostly from the Middle East. Shortages since the outbreak of war have led to increased prices, long queues, and theft.

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.
