Indian LPG supply chain faces critical disruption as geopolitical tensions escalate. The Green Sanvi became the seventh Indian tanker to successfully cross the Strait of Hormuz, carrying approximately 44,000 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas. This represents roughly half of India's daily pre-conflict consumption. However, seventeen additional LPG vessels remain stranded west of the Strait, with three more drifting near Abu Musa Island awaiting transit clearance. India imports nearly 60 percent of its LPG requirements, with Middle Eastern suppliers providing the majority. Current disruptions have affected up to 90 percent of LPG imports, creating immediate supply pressures despite moderating demand. Tankers are navigating through Iranian territorial waters via longer routes between Larak and Qeshm islands while implementing precautionary identification measures.
