India Sets New LPG Production Targets Amid Supply Concerns
The Indian government has issued an order to fix LPG production targets for refineries and upstream firms in response to supply concerns. The Petroleum and Natural Gas Ministry specified maximum LPG production levels for 21 refineries and upstream companies, with a combined production potential of 63,810 tonnes per day.
This is more than double the domestic LPG output in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, and about 70% of the country's daily consumption. The production limits will kick in whenever there is a supply constraint.
The lion's share of the planned output has been set from Reliance Industries Ltd's older refinery, which would have to produce up to 18,000 tonnes per day of LPG. Eighteen refineries owned and operated by public sector oil companies have been ordered to produce a total of 31,470 tonnes per day.
