India mainly imports LPG gas from Gulf (West Asian) countries, with smaller but growing volumes from the US and a few other regions.

Quick Scoop: From Which Country India Imports LPG Gas

Here’s the big picture in simple terms:

  • India meets roughly 60–65% of its LPG requirement through imports ; the rest comes from domestic production.
  • Most of this imported LPG comes from Gulf countries in West Asia , and the majority of cargoes pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Main Countries India Imports LPG From

The core suppliers are:

  • Qatar – One of the largest and most consistent LPG suppliers to India.
  • Saudi Arabia – Major West Asian source, historically key in India’s LPG basket.
  • United Arab Emirates (UAE) – Important Gulf supplier, including via ADNOC in Abu Dhabi.
  • Kuwait – Another key Gulf partner contributing to India’s LPG needs.

These Gulf nations together account for the bulk (well over half) of India’s LPG imports.

Newer and Additional Sources

In the last couple of years, India has also been diversifying:

  • United States
    • India has signed a structured deal to import around 2.2 million tonnes per year from the US Gulf Coast for 2026, which is around 10% of India’s annual LPG imports.
* This is a “historic” long-term style contract that makes the US a significant emerging supplier.
  • Other countries (smaller volumes, diversification)
    • Algeria – Supplies LPG via state firm Sonatrach.
* **Norway, Australia, Canada** – Additional origins India is tapping to spread risk beyond West Asia.

Why This Is in the News Recently

  • India is the world’s second-largest LPG importer , so any disruption in the Middle East (like Iran–Israel–US tensions) affects supply and prices.
  • Around 80–90% of India’s LPG imports either come from or transit through the Gulf/Strait of Hormuz , so conflicts in that region quickly create LPG “crisis” headlines at home.

Mini Summary (TL;DR)

  • If you’re asking “from which country India import LPG gas,” the main answer is:
    • Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait (primary Gulf suppliers), plus growing volumes from the United States , and smaller shares from Algeria, Norway, Australia, and Canada.
