India's consumption of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), widely used for cooking fuel, dropped sharply by around 13% in March compared to the same month last year, falling from 2.73 million tonnes to 2.38 million tonnes. Official data from the government's Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell show the decline affected all segments: household cylinder sales fell over 8%, non-domestic users saw nearly a 48% drop, and bulk LPG sales plunged by more than 75%. The figures underscore how the ongoing conflict in West Asia has disrupted fuel supply chains, with knock-on effects reaching consumers and commercial users across India.
