India plans up to quarter of 2027 LPG imports from US, sources say

India plans to buy a quarter of its LPG imports from the United States in 2027. This move aims to reduce Middle East reliance and support trade deal efforts. State refiners will issue tenders for US LPG supplies within two months. Higher US energy purchases could help narrow India's trade surplus with Washington. Diversification of LPG imports ensures supply security and mitigates regional disruption risks.
