Nepal Oil Corporation Begins Rationing Half‑Filled LPG Cylinders As Shortage Concerns Hit Nepal Amid Israel–Iran Conflict
Half-filled LPG cylinders are seen at a distribution center amid a cooking gas shortage in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 13, 2026. The Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) distributes 7.1 kg cylinders to reach more households and curb hoarding. Long queues form as people wait for hours, and while many manage to receive 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 supply disruptions there add pressure on local supply. (Photo by Safal Prakash Shrestha/NurPhoto)
