India has withdrawn emergency restrictions on natural gas supplies, reversing measures implemented earlier this week to manage shortages caused by disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.
The decision signals that liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments through the critical chokepoint have resumed, alleviating immediate pressure on the country's energy infrastructure.
The temporary curbs were introduced after suppliers declared force majeure, halting deliveries and forcing authorities to prioritize gas for compressed natural gas (CNG) and domestic piped networks.
With maritime traffic stabilizing, the government determined that the emergency allocation framework was no longer necessary, allowing commercial flows to return to normal levels.
This development marks a rapid de-escalation in the energy supply chain following heightened security concerns in the region.
India, which relies heavily on imported LNG, had accelerated its pivot toward alternative sources, including record imports from the United States, as the blockade risk persisted.
