LPG Gas Crisis In India - Alternative Clay Wood-fired Stoves
An elderly woman cooks rice on a newly built clay wood-fired stove in her house veranda while checking news updates on her phone about the possibility of obtaining an LPG connection in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on March 20, 2026. The resurgence of wood-fired stoves is being used by households and businesses as a response to the severe LPG shortage currently affecting India. The LPG supply squeeze has been ongoing for three weeks, with India importing 65% of the fuel, mostly from the Middle East. Shortages since the outbreak of war have led to increased prices, long queues, and theft. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
