India's LPG Sector
Supply Chain and Policy Framework
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is India's primary clean cooking fuel, distributed through three public sector oil marketing companies: Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL). India is the world's second-largest LPG consumer after China.
- The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY), launched in 2016, targeted providing free LPG connections to Below Poverty Line (BPL) households — 10 crore connections released under Phase 1 and 2
- India imports over 55% of its LPG requirements; domestic production from refineries and ONGC gas processing units is insufficient
- LPG imports arrive primarily via Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGCs) and smaller LPG carriers at designated import terminals
- The Jag Vikram is operated by the Great Eastern Shipping Company, India's largest private sector shipping company
