India increased domestic and commercial LPG cylinder prices following February's West Asia conflict, which disrupted the Strait of Hormuz shipping route. Domestic 14.2 kg cylinders rose ₹60 in March. Commercial 19 kg cylinders increased ₹144 in March and ₹200 on April 1. India imports 60% of LPG needs. State-owned oil companies adjust rates monthly based on global energy prices. An Indian LPG carrier recently crossed the Hormuz Strait, reaching the Gulf of Oman with 20,400 tonnes cargo.
