India Diversifies Energy: Eyes US, Australia for LNG Amid West Asia Strain

• India is fast-tracking energy diversification due to strain on traditional supply chains from the West Asia conflict.
• Sujata Sharma, MoPNG Joint Secretary, confirmed the impact of the war but stated domestic availability remains stable.
• India heavily relies on West Asia for 90% of LPG and 47% of LNG from Qatar, prompting a shift to new suppliers.
• The government is now sourcing LNG from alternative geographies like the US and Australia to reduce risk.
• Despite global disruptions, officials maintain no immediate hit to availability or pricing, with LPG supply holding steady.
