India LPG Cylinder Shortage
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.
