Global disruptions

The tensions between Iran and the United States have affected the supply chains and caused disruptions in oil transit globally, as per reports.

It also includes the LPG crisis in India, for which India remained 60 per cent dependent on imports. Out of the 60 per cent, the major amount of 90 per cent reached India through the Strait of Hormuz region, as reported by the Press Information Bureau (PIB).

The government has directed an increase in the domestic LPG production by almost 25 per cent to curb the situation, with household consumers as its priority.
