India's imports of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from the United States are on track to hit a record high in June, underscoring a shift in sourcing patterns amid continued disruptions to supplies from West Asia.
Imports from the U.S. have reached about 635,000 tonnes so far this month, accounting for nearly 65% of India's total LPG imports, according to Kpler data assessed by NDTV Profit.
The U.S. has remained India's largest LPG supplier since March, as geopolitical tensions and disruptions in West Asia reshaped trade flows and prompted buyers to seek alternative sources.
