India's LPG prices hold steady amid West Asia conflict disruptions. Domestic cooking gas cylinders cost between 913 and 1,000 rupees across major cities, while commercial cylinders range from 1,836 to 2,105 rupees. The government raised prices in early March as supply chain disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz impacted availability. India sources 90 percent of LPG imports from the conflict-affected West Asia region, forcing the country to seek alternative suppliers from West Africa and Russia at higher freight costs. The government implemented a tiered distribution strategy prioritizing domestic households over commercial establishments. Despite shortages reported in some areas, authorities maintain sufficient domestic reserves to meet current demand. Citizens in Gujarat can now book cylinders through multiple digital platforms including WhatsApp and mobile apps for easier access.
