India boosts US LPG purchases after UAE's Al Ruwais attacks
India
India is turning to the US for more of its liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) after conflicts in West Asia disrupted traditional supply routes.
The Middle East Gulf usually supplies 92% of India's LPG imports, but recent attacks on facilities like U.A.E.'s Al Ruwais have disrupted LPG production and supply, pushing India to seek more reliable options.
US supplies 10% of India's LPG
The US already covers about 10% of India's LPG imports, and that number is set to grow.
Imports of US natural gas liquids jumped from just 2,000 barrels a day in 2016 to 139,000 last year.
With bigger shipments of propane and butane in 2025, India's move highlights how it's working to keep homes fueled, even when global politics get messy.
