Everyone is talking about oil. Nobody is talking about LPG.
The Strait of Hormuz carries:
• 25% of global oil trade
• 20% of global LNG trade
• The majority of India’s LPG imports, the fuel that runs 300 million household kitchens
LPG isn’t just a domestic fuel. It’s a feedstock for plastics, agrochemicals, and industrial heating, all deeply tied to India’s manufacturing backbone.
A sustained Hormuz disruption doesn’t just raise cooking gas prices. It
cascades into:
• Packaging cost inflation
• Petrochemical input shortages
• Rural supply chain breakdowns
Business owners in FMCG, chemicals, and agri-processing should be stress-testing their LPG dependency today, not after the next price shock.
At Visvasa, we help industrial clients map their energy and feedstock exposure and build diversified sourcing strategies.
