What’s behind the Increase in LPG Rates?
The recent increase in the price of LPG has been linked to the disruptions in the international energy chain. The continued fighting in the Middle East, especially in connection with the Iran crisis and the Gulf area, have impacted the flow of energy supplies, resulting in increased prices of LPG globally, along with problems in securing cargos. India relies heavily on the Gulf area for its energy needs. A majority of India’s oil, gas, and LPG needs are met through imports from this region.
