Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has been disrupted since late February after US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran, cutting shipments from Gulf states. Kpler data show the US was India’s largest supplier of LNG and LPG in May: Washington sent 630,000 tonnes of LPG to India in May, roughly 60% more than the 380,000 tonnes India imported from all Gulf countries combined. The US also exported 900,000 tonnes of LNG to India in May — over 40% of India’s demand and three times April volumes. Kpler ch

Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has been disrupted since late February after US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran, cutting shipments from Gulf states. Kpler data show the US was India’s largest supplier of LNG and LPG in May: Washington sent 630,000 tonnes of LPG to India in May, roughly 60% more than the 380,000 tonnes India imported from all Gulf countries combined. The US also exported 900,000 tonnes of LNG to India in May — over 40% of India’s demand and three times April volumes. Kpler chief research analyst Sumit Ritolia said US‑India energy trade will increasingly focus on gas, with US shale resources and expanding export infrastructure giving Washington an advantage as India seeks to diversify supplies.
