Middle East tensions drive LPG prices higher across India. Domestic cooking gas cylinders surged by sixty rupees in March, with New Delhi's 14.2 kg cylinder now priced at nine hundred thirteen rupees, up from eight hundred fifty-three rupees a month ago. Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, which handles nearly twenty percent of global oil supplies, have created supply constraints affecting the entire energy market. Mumbai, Bengaluru, and other major cities report similar increases. The hospitality sector has felt the impact most acutely, with some businesses temporarily suspending operations. India's government assures no shortage exists domestically, while the Navy deploys warships to ensure safe passage of energy supply vessels through contested waters.
