Middle East Conflict Drives LPG Crisis And Rising Costs In India

A Kashmiri woman stands near the empty liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders outside a gas agency amid supply disruptions following the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran, in Magam, north of Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on March 13, 2026. India asks liquefied petroleum gas consumers to avoid panic buying of LPG cylinders and shift to piped natural gas where possible, oil ministry official Sujata Sharma says on Friday. India's crude oil, LPG, and liquefied natural gas supplies are disrupted due to global shipping constraints after the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran halts traffic through the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.
