Gas on the line: will the Iran war squeeze India's piped gas next?
Summary
The ongoing war involving Iran has already disrupted LPG supplies for millions of Indian households, raising fears that the country's expanding piped natural gas network could face the next squeeze. India relies heavily on Middle Eastern energy imports routed through the Strait of Hormuz, making it acutely vulnerable to any prolonged disruption in the region. Analysts warn that if the conflict escalates further, the knock-on effects on Indian energy prices and supply security could be severe.
