India’s LPG crisis to worsen in May – Prices surge, supply shortfall worrisome
01-May-2026

India may again face an LPG supply gap of 850,000–900,000 tonne this month, only slightly lower than the 1 million tonne shortfall in March, despite ramping up domestic production by up to 40% and lining up additional cargoes from global markets, highlighting continued tightness in cooking gas supplies amid the West Asia crisis. The shortfall persists even as refiners sharply scale up output and oil marketing companies expand sourcing globally, underscoring the challenge of replacing disrupted Middle East supplies.
