Nepal Oil Corporation Begins Rationing Half‑Filled LPG Cylinders As Shortage Concerns Hit Nepal Amid Israel–Iran Conflict
Nepali residents stand in line with empty LPG cylinders during a cooking gas shortage in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 13, 2026. The Nepal Oil Corporation begins distributing half-filled cylinders (7.1 kg) to manage limited supply and reach more households. Long queues form outside distribution centers as many wait hours for refills, though some leave empty-handed amid ongoing shortages. The disruption comes amid global energy supply concerns linked to the conflict involving Israel and Iran, which affects shipping routes and pressures fuel markets. Nepal relies on imports from India, and supply disruptions there intensify the local shortage. (Photo by Safal Prakash Shrestha/NurPhoto)
