US Now Supplies Two-Thirds Of India’s LPG ImportsNEW DELHI-The United States has become India’s largest supplier of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), with its share in India’s imports rising to around 67 per cent, Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on August 7. He noted that the decision initially drew questions as India sourced LPG from geographically closer suppliers, but the import pattern has since shifted significantly. “Today I’m happy to inform you that the United States accounts for something like 67 per cent of our LPG imports,” said Hardeep Singh Puri, Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas. The minister said the development reflects India’s broader strategy of diversifying energy sources and strengthening supply security through global partnerships. He added that India is also focusing on long-term energy security through initiatives such as expanding domestic exploration and building resilient energy infrastructure.
