India barred piped natural gas customers from purchasing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders through a government order issued Monday. The immediate ban aims to conserve fuel supplies as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran disrupts energy imports. This policy shift forces a transition toward domestic infrastructure to mitigate a 60% reliance on foreign LPG.
