In stark contrast, LPG consumption saw a dramatic decline. It dropped by 13% due to ongoing conflicts in West Asia.

As of midday, the statistics revealed that LPG consumption fell to 2.379 million tons from 2.729 million tons in March 2025.

This decrease was primarily driven by a nearly 48% drop in commercial LPG usage and a staggering 75.5% reduction in bulk sales.

Domestic LPG sales also decreased, falling by 8.1% to 2.219 million tons.

Interestingly, petrol sales increased by 7.6%, reaching 3.78 million tons during this period.

The Indian oil and gas market is projected to grow. Demand is expected to reach 5.99 million barrels per day by 2026.

India’s dependence on imports for crude oil remains high, at approximately 88-90%. For LPG, this figure stands at around 60%.

Geopolitical tensions have caused significant supply disruptions affecting both commercial and domestic users across the country.

Indian refineries have been instructed to increase LPG production from petrochemical feedstock to mitigate these issues.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the long-term impact of these shifts on energy prices and availability.

This sequence of events underscores the evolving energy landscape in India, where demand for diesel is rising even as reliance on LPG diminishes amid external pressures.
