India is planning to source up to a quarter of its liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) imports from the United States by 2027, according to sources cited by Hindu Businessline.
The strategic shift aims to reduce the country's heavy reliance on Middle Eastern suppliers and aligns with broader efforts to secure a comprehensive trade agreement with Washington.
By targeting a 25% share for US imports, New Delhi is effectively locking in long-term demand for American producers, who have benefited from a surge in export capacity over recent years.
The move represents a significant acceleration in the diversification of India's energy supply chain.

This structural change in sourcing patterns provides a floor for US LPG export volumes, even as global supply dynamics fluctuate.
This development follows a rapid uptick in bilateral energy trade.
