India's LPG imports from US set to cross 1 million tons in June, sources say
India is set to import 1.1 million to 1.2 million tons of U.S. LPG in June as Middle East supplies remain constrained, Reuters reported.
- India is importing a record volume of LPG from the United States in June, exceeding 1 million metric tons as New Delhi seeks alternative energy supplies amid Middle East disruptions.
- The blockade at the Strait of Hormuz, caused by the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, choked off traditional supplies that previously provided 90% of Indian LPG imports from the Middle East.
- Kpler data indicates India will receive about 1.07 million tons of U.S. LPG this month, nearly double the 648,300 tons imported in May, while supplies from the UAE are also recovering.
- Indian refiners are maximizing output and reducing domestic consumption by 15% to 20% while securing additional shipments from Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates to manage the supply crunch.
- Sources suggest the partial opening of the Strait of Hormuz may improve regional LPG supplies in the coming months, potentially reducing costs for consumers relying on the fuel for cooking.
