Why India’s energy vulnerability is far more acute in LPG than LNG? Must read Article

Nearly 60% of India’s LPG demand is import-dependent, with 90% of those volumes transiting the Strait of Hormuz implying an effective supply disruption risk of 54%.

In contrast, LNG, while also import-reliant (50%), faces a lower effective disruption risk of 30% due to relatively diversified sourcing and routing.

LPG underpins household energy consumption (33 million tonnes annually), whereas LNG is more industrially oriented and partially substitutable.

India has diversified industrial fuel risk, but its cooking fuel ecosystem remains tightly coupled to a single geopolitical chokepoint. #Energy
