Residents of India are forced to wait several days for liquefied gas delivery. The disruption was caused by supply chain disruptions related to the conflict in Iran.
Delays in gas delivery
India faced disruptions in the supply of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Residents of the country report delays in the delivery of cylinders of up to several days.
The problems arose from disruptions in the global supply chain, which were exacerbated by the conflict in Iran.
The impact of the conflict in Iran
The conflict in Iran has disrupted key transport routes for LPG supplies. This has affected import-dependent countries, including India.
Importers are forced to look for alternative sources and routes, which leads to additional delays and higher gas prices.
Context.
India is one of the largest consumers of liquefied petroleum gas in the world. The country is heavily dependent on LPG imports, particularly from the Middle East.
Any disruptions in the region affect India's energy security and the daily lives of millions of citizens.
