Gas price India: As the West Asia conflict continues to rage on, fuel prices remain a key concern for households and transport users across India, with LPG, CNG and PNG rates seeing revisions at regular intervals amid global energy supply woes.
LPG supplies are under close monitoring amid prevailing geopolitical tensions, even though no dry-outs have been reported at distributorships. This is because India meets more than 40 per cent of its crude imports and 90 per cent of its LPG imports from West Asian countries, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Meanwhile, ONGC chairman and CEO Arun Kumar Singh indicated that the company is planning something big with regard to strategic petroleum reserves (SPR) to bolster India’s energy security.
“ONGC is doing something big in SPR,” he said at the Energy Security Conclave organised by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB). He said that India needs to reassess its traditional reliance on West Asia for oil and gas supplies amid growing global volatility.
While LPG remains the primary cooking fuel for many households, CNG and PNG are emerging as more stable and economic alternatives. Consumers are advised to track city-wise price updates and policy updates to manage their fuel expenses effectively.
