NEW DELHI: India's imports of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from the U.S. are set to top 1 million metric tons in June, a record high, industry sources said, as New Delhi turned to costlier suppliers to offset disruption from the Middle East.
Before the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, India depended on Middle Eastern producers for 90% of its LPG imports, which totalled about 2 million tons per month.
