India's LPG production up by 28%; domestic supply protected

India's LPG production has been increased by 28 per cent through refinery directives. Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri informed the Lok Sabha that large LNG cargoes are arriving on an almost daily basis through alternative supply routes, and India has sufficient gas production and supply arrangements to sustain this position even in the event of a prolonged conflict. He said procurement has now been actively diversified, with cargoes being secured from the United States, Norway, Canada, Algeria and Russia. "India’s crude oil position is secured and the domestic supply of LPG is fully protected," he said.
