As conflict continues in West Asia, fuel prices remain key concerns for households and transport users across India, with LPGCNG and PNG rates that see revisions at regular intervals amid global energy supply problems.

LPG supplies under close monitoring amid the prevailing geopolitical tension although no dry-out was reported in the distributorships. This is because India meets more than 40 percent of crude oil imports and 90 percent of LPG imports from West Asian countries, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

The government, however, continues to offer subsidies under schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY), which helps reduce the effective cost for eligible households. Under the scheme, more than 10 crore low-income families have received gas connections.

Meanwhile, the Petroleum Ministry on Thursday dismissed a report that suggested the country’s LPG supply could take up to 4 years to recover, calling the claim “misleading”.

“A claim circulating in a section of the media – attributed to an unnamed government official – that India’s LPG supply may take up to four years to recover is misleading and creates an incorrect impression about the country’s supply position,” the ministry said in a statement.

It added that India is diversifying its purchases to the US, Norway, Canada, Algeria, and Russia with 800 TMT of assured import cargo already secured and en route.

While LPG remains the primary cooking fuel for many households, CNG and PNG are emerging as more sustainable and economical alternatives. Consumers are advised to track price updates and city policies to effectively manage their fuel costs.
