India’s hospitality industry is raising urgent concerns after a sharp disruption in the supply of commercial liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), leaving many restaurants and hotels with barely a few days of fuel reserves. Industry bodies have warned that continued shortages could force widespread operational disruptions or temporary shutdowns across the sector.

The supply concerns emerged after escalating tensions involving the U.S.–Israel conflict with Iran disrupted shipping routes in the Gulf region, particularly around the critical Strait of Hormuz. The situation has pushed up global energy prices and affected the flow of fuel exports from key producers such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
