🔥 Track My LPG Usage FREE ▶ Play StoreUK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced a virtual summit of 35 nations on Thursday April 3 to find ways of reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The waterway — through which one-fifth of the world's LPG transits — has been effectively closed by Iranian attacks on commercial shipping during the ongoing US-Israel conflict with Iran. Global energy prices have surged significantly.
For Indian households already paying Rs.812-912 per LPG cylinder, news of the Strait of Hormuz crisis could not come at a worse time. The diplomatic summit planned for Thursday represents an important development — but practical relief for consumers may be months away. Here is everything you need to know and, more importantly, what you can do right now to protect your household budget.
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman that connects the Persian Gulf — home to the world's largest oil and gas reserves — to the Indian Ocean. Approximately 20% of the world's oil and liquified petroleum gas (LPG) passes through this 33-km wide strait every day under normal conditions.
India imports approximately 40-45% of its LPG from Gulf producers including Qatar, UAE and Saudi Arabia. Under normal conditions, these shipments pass through the Strait of Hormuz on their way to Indian ports. With the strait effectively closed, these supply chains have been disrupted, forcing costly rerouting of tankers around Africa.
India's domestic LPG production meets only 55-60% of national demand. The remaining 40-45% must be imported. Any sustained disruption to Gulf supply routes directly impacts the availability and pricing of LPG for Indian households — particularly the 310 million homes that depend on LPG as their primary cooking fuel.
The 35-nation virtual summit chaired by UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper aims to assess diplomatic and political options for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. However, consumers should have realistic expectations about what this summit can achieve in the near term.

India has been actively building strategic petroleum reserves, has existing supply contracts with US and Australian LPG producers, and has a diverse import portfolio that reduces dependency on any single supply route.
Additionally, the Ujjwala Yojana scheme provides a buffer for below-poverty-line families through direct subsidy transfers, ensuring the most vulnerable households are somewhat protected from immediate price shocks.
