India's Economy
A man carries a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder on the banks of Dal Lake in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 16, 2026. This occurs amid ongoing oil and gas import disruptions linked to the Middle East conflict. India is the world's fourth-largest buyer of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and the second-largest buyer of LPG, which is used for cooking and predominantly sourced from the Middle East. The United States has ordered a naval blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz following the collapse of ceasefire talks with Tehran, leading to a surge in global oil prices above $100 per barrel. Although India's direct imports from Iran are minimal, the disruption affects key Gulf energy flows and increases costs for crude oil, LPG, and LNG shipments. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto)
