Global Factors and Government Support
Fuel prices in India remain a significant concern due to prevailing global energy supply issues and geopolitical tensions, particularly the ongoing West Asia conflict. India relies heavily on imports, sourcing over 40% of its crude oil and 90% of its LPG from West Asian countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar. LPG supplies are under close monitoring, though no dry-outs have been reported at distributorships.
To mitigate the impact on consumers, the government continues to offer subsidies under schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY). This initiative has provided gas connections to over 10 crore low-income families, helping to reduce their effective fuel costs.
