Long Queues At LPG Distributors Amid LPG Shortage Fears In India

People stand in a long queue to collect LPG cylinders after information about availability spreads in Nagaon District of Assam, India, on March 13, 2026. Long queues outside gas agencies and panic bookings are reported in many cities. The situation is triggered by disruptions in global energy supply linked to the escalating West Asia conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, which raises concerns about shipments passing through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical energy route for India's LPG imports.
