LPG Crisis In India
People wait in a queue to refill gas cylinders at a gas agency in Sopore, Jammu and Kashmir, India, on March 14, 2026. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) traffic through the corridor is severely disrupted due to the current crisis in the Middle East, with cargo movements stalling and importers scrambling for replacements. For a country like India, where a large share of a welfare-sensitive fuel depends on seaborne imports, the global shock quickly becomes a domestic allocation problem. (Photo by Nasir Kachroo/NurPhoto)
