LPG Price Hike Coming? Best Ways to Save!

Written By: Danish

Middle East tensions (Iran-Israel) may trigger LPG price hikes in India. 66% of cylinders are imported from West Asia, risking supply chains.

Crisis

India imports 95% LPG from Saudi, Qatar, UAE. With just 16-day reserves, any disruption could spike prices rapidly.

Dependency

33 crore households now use LPG (thanks to Ujjwala), but doubled imports make India vulnerable to global price shocks.

Ujjwala Impact

Petroleum Ministry data shows only 16-day LPG stock nationwide. Refiners aren't panic-buying yet, but situation remains volatile.

Storage Risk

India has 25-day crude oil reserves. Unlike LPG, we're net exporters of petrol/diesel (40%/30% production exported).

Fuel Safety

Switch to induction cooktops or maximize cylinder use. Track prices via MyGov/PPAC apps for timely refills before hikes.

Smart Savings

No immediate panic, but prepare for possible ₹50-100/cylinder hikes if Middle East conflicts escalate further. Stay updated!
