India ensures household gas supply amid global energy crisis

Gas supply is critical for several industrial sectors. Geopolitical conflicts impacting global energy supplies force governments to prioritize essential services, often at the expense of industrial users.

• •India is diverting imported and domestic gas to priority sectors (households, CNG vehicles).
• •Reason: supply crunches caused by the Iran war.
• •Petrochemical units and power plants may face complete allocation cuts.
• •Fertilizer and refinery supplies are also reduced.
• •GAIL will manage the diversion, with a common price set by the oil ministry.
