Nepal Oil Corporation Begins Rationing Half‑Filled LPG Cylinders As Shortage Concerns Hit Nepal Amid Israel–Iran Conflict
Nepali residents carry half-filled LPG cylinders after receiving them from distribution centers amid a cooking gas shortage in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 13, 2026. The Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) distributes 7.1 kg cylinders to ensure more households have access and to curb hoarding. Long queues form as people wait for hours, and while many manage to secure the half-filled cylinders, shortages remain for others. The move comes amid global energy supply concerns linked to the conflict involving Israel and Iran, which disrupts shipping routes and affects fuel markets worldwide. Nepal relies on imports of cooking gas through India, and supply disruptions there add pressure on local distribution. (Photo by Safal Prakash Shrestha/NurPhoto)
