Al Jazeera reported that India ranks as the second largest LPG importer in the world.
To ensure the supply of cooking gas for households, the Indian government has reportedly reduced the supply of LPG to the industrial sector.
A number of countries in the world also experienced similar things to India due to the US-Israeli war against Iran which made the world's oil and gas taps stalled in the Strait of Hormuz.
As a result of this situation, people in several countries are having difficulty obtaining cooking gas cylinders, with long queues being a common sight at LPG depots.
