The ongoing blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, linked to the US-Israel-Iran conflict, is causing a severe LPG shortage in India, impacting restaurants and street vendors. Many eateries are forced to reduce menus or switch to alternative fuels like coal and diesel. The Indian government, which subsidizes LPG, is diverting supplies to households, exacerbating the crisis for the food service industry. With India relying heavily on LPG imports from the Middle East, the situation could worsen if disruptions continue, threatening the viability of many food businesses across the country.
