India has stepped up the distribution of smaller 5-kg LPG cylinders and fast-tracked the expansion of piped natural gas (PNG) connections as the country manages fuel supply pressures linked to the ongoing conflict in West Asia. More than 1.3 million 5-kg free-trade cylinders have been sold since late March, with daily sales surpassing 100,000 units, as authorities work to improve access for migrant workers and low-income households. The moves signal a broader effort by New Delhi to diversify and shore up domestic energy delivery channels against the backdrop of regional instability affecting global fuel markets.
