India’s state-run oil firms have signed a landmark one-year deal to import 2.2 million tonnes of LPG from the US Gulf Coast in 2026, marking a major shift in sourcing strategy and a move to balance trade ties with Washington.

India signs 1-year deal to import 2.2 million tonnes of LPG from US

India&rsquo;s state-run oil firms have signed a landmark one-year deal to import 2.2 million tonnes of LPG from the US Gulf Coast in 2026, marking a major shift in sourcing strategy and a move to balance trade ties with Washington.

Indian state-run oil companies have signed a one-year deal to import cooking gas LPG from the United States in 2026, marking a push by New Delhi to expand energy purchases from Washington. The move is seen as an attempt to narrow India's trade surplus with the US - a sticking point for President Donald Trump, who has slapped a 50 per cent tariff on Indian goods entering America.
"Indian PSU oil companies have successfully concluded a one-year structured contract to import around 2.2 million tonnes of LPG from the US Gulf Coast for the contract year 2026," an official statement said on Monday.
The quantity contracted is close to 10 per cent of India's annual LPG imports and marks the first such structured US LPG contract for the Indian market. While India is either self-sufficient or has surplus production in most fuels like petrol, diesel and jet fuel, it imports about 65 per cent of its LPG consumption of 31 million tonnes.
In 2024, about 90 per cent of the 20.4 million tonnes of LPG imports came from UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. It sporadically imported cargos from the US but this is the first time it has entered into a structured contract.
State-owned Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) will import about 48 very-large gas carriers of LPG in 2026. The supplies will be made by super majors Chevron, Phillips and TotalEnergies Trading SA.
India has offered to raise energy imports from the US as part of the bilateral trade deal that has been under discussions for the past couple of months. New Delhi buys about 8 per cent of its crude oil - the raw material for making petrol and diesel - from the US.
In the first half of 2025, India imported about 271,000 barrels per day (bpd) of US crude, up 51 per cent from 180,000 bpd in H1 2024. Scope for raising crude imports from the US is limited given that shipments take 45 days sea voyage to reach Indian shores - a period during which ships can make six sorties from the Middle East.
Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri took to X to announce the LPG deal. "A historic first! One of the largest and the world&rsquo;s fastest growing LPG markets opens up to the United States," he said.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
A historic first! One of the largest and the world&rsquo;s fastest growing LPG market opens up to the United States. In our endeavour to provide secure affordable supplies of LPG to the people of India, we have been diversifying our LPG sourcing. In a significant development,&hellip;
&mdash; Hardeep Singh Puri (@HardeepSPuri) <a href="https://twitter.com/HardeepSPuri/status/1990264405108670828?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 17, 2025</a></blockquote>
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
"In our endeavour to provide secure affordable supplies of LPG to the people of India, we have been diversifying our LPG sourcing. In a significant development, Indian PSU oil companies have successfully concluded a 1 year deal for imports of around 2.2 MTPA LPG, close to 10 per cent of our annual imports - for the contract year 2026, to be sourced from the US Gulf Coast - the first structured contract of US LPG for the Indian market," he said.
This purchase is based on using Mount Belvieu as the benchmark for LPG purchases, he said adding a team from the three PSUs had visited the US and engaged in discussions with major US producers over the last few months, which have been concluded now.
He touted poor Ujjwala consumers - who make up for a third of all LPG users in the country - receiving cooking gas cylinders at just Rs 500-550 while the actual cost was over Rs 1,100. "Government of India incurred the cost of over Rs 40,000 crore last year in order to ensure our mothers and sisters did not feel the burden of rising international LPG prices."
The price of LPG for non-Ujjwala users currently is Rs 853 per 14.2-kg cylinder. For the US contract, the pricing shift - using Mount Belvieu as a benchmark - brings greater transparency and global linkage into India&rsquo;s procurement model.
For consumers, this diversification strengthens the ability to shield households from global price spikes. "The Minister emphasised that this new sourcing arrangement for 2026 is another step in strengthening India&rsquo;s energy security while ensuring affordable access to clean cooking fuel for millions of households," the statement added.

India downplays US sanctions threat over Russian oil imports, citing supply diversification and confidence in meeting energy needs from other sources.

India plays down threat of sanctions on Russian oil supplies, says can source from alternate places

India downplays US sanctions threat over Russian oil imports, citing supply diversification and confidence in meeting energy needs from other sources.

India on Thursday played down the threat of the US imposing sanctions on countries buying Russian oil, saying it is confident of meeting its needs from alternative sources.
Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said the world's third largest oil importer should be able to deal with any problems with Russian imports by seeking supplies from other countries.
India imports more than 85 per cent of its requirement of crude oil, which is turned into fuels like petrol and diesel in refineries.
Traditionally, the Middle East was the main source, but Russia has been the mainstay supplier for nearly three years now.
After much of the West shunned Russian crude following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Russia began offering steep discounts to attract alternative buyers.
Indian refiners seized the opportunity, turning Russia, once a marginal supplier, into India's largest source of crude oil, overtaking traditional suppliers from West Asia. Russia now accounts for as much as 40 per cent of India's oil imports.
Speaking at the Urja Varta annual conference of the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), Puri said there are many new suppliers coming onto the market such as Guyana and supplies can also be ramped up from existing producers such as Brazil and Canada.
"I don't feel any pressure in my mind. India has diversified the sources of supply," he said in reply to a question on the impact of the US threatening Russia with sanctions.
Earlier this week, US President Donald Trump had threatened that countries purchasing Russian exports could face sanctions or steep tariffs if Moscow fails to reach a peace agreement with Ukraine within 50 days.
Puri said India is also increasing the hunt for finding new deposits of oil within the country and quickly bringing them to production.
"I'm not worried at all. If something happens, we'll deal with it," he said. "India has diversified the sources of supply and we have gone, I think, from about 27 countries that we used to buy from to about 40 countries now." In the event of Russian supplies being hit, Indian Oil Corp chairman A S Sahney said the country could "go back to the same template (of supplies) as was used pre-Ukraine crisis when Russian supplies to India were below 2 per cent." The Oil Minister said prior to February 2022, India was buying 0.2 per cent of overall crude oil from Russia. "Today... It has gone up considerably," he said.&nbsp;

Speaking to the media, the minister highlighted the fact that more oil production was coming online across the world 

No Shortage Of Oil In The World, Expect Prices To Come Down: Hardeep Singh Puri

Speaking to the media, the minister highlighted the fact that more oil production was coming online across the world&nbsp;

Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, has said that there is no shortage of oil in the world and, therefore, he expects prices to come down once global geopolitical issues are resolved.
Speaking to the media, the minister highlighted the fact that more oil production was coming online across the world. He said, "One thing is very clear, there is no shortage of oil in the world. Today, more and more oil is coming onto the market."
However, he also discussed the factors keeping crude oil prices elevated and said, "There are other factors, like geopolitical tensions. So, there is no shortage of oil, but if there is tension in one part of the world, then the freight cost, including insurance, will go up."
The Petroleum Minister also expressed hope that these issues would eventually settle and that oil prices would come down.
He said, "Today, let us all hope that better sense prevails, that the call for peace that our Prime Minister has been making from every forum... There is more than enough oil in the world, and prices should hopefully come down. That's my expectation".
During the last week, the Brent and WTI crude prices had dropped over 7%. However, on Monday both Brent and WTI gained almost 2% as fighting in the Middle East intensified. The crisis in the region has the market nervous about a potential disruption of oil supply.

Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri slams Congress' 295 seats claim calling it 'Mungerilal ke haseen sapne'.&nbsp;&nbsp;
"What is the opposition talking about? We are talking about wealth distribution, they are talking about khata khat, fata fat. They will distribute your earnings among people," he said. "They did a press conference today claiming to win a huge number of seats which shows their delusional politics. I heard they were talking about 295 seats. People asked me to comment on it. Why do you want me to dignify this?" he asked. Puri also slammed Rahul Gandhi saying that the claim would not have any impact on him as he would leave for a foreign tour after the poll result. He said it's Mallikarjun Kharge who will have to bear the consequences.&nbsp;
"Rahul Gandhi will go to Thailand or Spain after the poll result, and the whole accountability of this claim will land up on Kahrgeji, as there is family control in Congress," said Puri.&nbsp;

Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Wednesday announced that around 1100 Rohingyas staying in tents will be shifted to EWS flats in Bakkarwal area of Delhi and provided with basic amenities.
Citing UN Refugee Convention, Puri tweeted, "India respects & follows UN  Refugee Convention 1951 & provides refuge to all, regardless of their race, religion or creed."
The announcement ensued a controversy with several right groups slamming the Cente for backtracking on its earlier claims that Rohingya Muslims were 'not refugees but illegal migrants.' 
Vishwa Hindu Parishad hit out at the Narendra Modi-led government for its move and asked it to reconsider the decision.
"Instead of providing the Rohingyas with housing, make arrangements to send them back and out of India," Alok Kumar, VHP Central working president told ANI.
Reacting sharply to the move, BJP's Tathagat Roy said Rohingya Muslims are illegal infiltratos not refugees under CAA.
"They are distinctly unwelcome even in Muslim-majority Bangladesh," he tweeted.
 Later, Union Home Ministry clarified that it has not given any directions to provide EWS flats to Rohingya illegal migrants at Bakkarwala in New Delhi.
"With respect to news reports in certain sections of media regarding Rohingya illegal foreigners, it is clarified that the MHA has not given any directions to provide EWS flats to Rohingya illegal migrants at Bakkarwala in New Delhi," an MHA spokesperson said.
The Ministry further said it has directed Delhi government to ensure that the Rohingya  illegal foreigners will  continue at the present location until their deportation as per law. 
On the proposed move by the Delhi government to shift the Rohingya Muslims to a new location, the MHA has directed the Delhi government to ensure that the Rohingya illegal foreigners remain at their present location as it has already taken up the matter of their deportation with the country concerned through the Ministry of External Affairs.
After their dwellings were gutted in fire twice in 2018 and 2021, Rohingya migrants have been living in tents provided by the Delhi government, The Indian Express reported.
The rehabilitation of Rohingya Muslims has been a controversial issue in India. BJP has often used the subject of 'illegal migration' to amass votes.
Rohingya, an ethnic group with a predominantly Muslim population hails from Western Myanmar province of Rakhine. They speak Bengali, not the commonly spoken Burmese language.
The United Nations has accused Myanmar of ethnic cleansing in Rakhine area. As a result of violence, about 5 lakh Rohingyas fled to Bangladesh, and approximately 40,000 moved to India.
Earlier, Union Home Ministry in Parliament stated that all Rohingyas in India were illegal immigrants and will be deported soon. In an advisory to state, the ministry said, "infiltration from Rakhine state of Myanmar into India poses security challenges."
The Hindu reportd that a case seeking prevention of deportation plans is also pending in Supreme Court 

Confusion over 'Rohingya re-settlement', Centre issues clarification

Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri's tweet stating that Rohingya migrants staying in temporary settlements in Delhi will be shifted to flats meant for economically weaker sections in Bakkarwal area triggered a controversy

The United Nations has accused Myanmar of ethnic cleansing in Rakhine area. As a result of violence, about 5 lakh Rohingyas fled to Bangladesh, and approximately 40,000 moved to India.

Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri's tweet stating that Rohingya migrants staying in temporary settlements in Delhi will be shifted to flats meant for economically weaker sections in&nbsp; Bakkarwal area triggered a controversy with BJP being accused of going back on its stance on the Myanmar refugees.&nbsp;
Puri had tweeted on Wednesday morning, &lsquo;India has always welcomed those who have sought refuge in the country. In a landmark decision all #Rohingya #Refugees will be shifted to EWS flats in Bakkarwala area of Delhi. They will be provided basic amenities, UNHCR IDs &amp; round-the-clock @DelhiPolice protection.'
In a second tweet, the union minister for Housing, Urban Affairs shared a news report stating the same.&nbsp;
The tweets led to AAP hitting out at the Modi govt which has maintained that Rohingya refugees are a threat to the nation and accusing it going back on its stand. The party said that it would not let the govt allocate any flats to the Rohingyas citing security threat.&nbsp;
The controversy led to the Home Ministry issuing a clarification that it had not given any directions to provide flats to Rohingya Muslims in Delhi and asked the Arvind Kejriwal government to ensure the illegal foreigners remained at their present location.
'With respect to news reports in certain sections of media regarding Rohingya illegal foreigners, it is clarified that the MHA has not given any directions to provide EWS flats to Rohingya illegal migrants at Bakkarwala in New Delhi,' according to a ministry statement.&nbsp;
'The illegal foreigners are to be kept in the detention centre till their deportation as per law. The government of Delhi has not declared the present location as a detention centre. They have been directed to do the same immediately,' the statement further read.
The Home Ministry in its statement also said that it was the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/india-news/delhi-govt-defers-relaxations-in-driving-test-here-s-why-1660018636624">Govt of Delhi </a>that had proposed shifting of Rohingya refugees to a new location.

In a press conference held by <a href="https://www.editorji.com/india-news/union-minister-gadkari-dropped-from-bjp-s-parliamentary-board-1660725483158">BJP</a>, its spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said the decision to shift Rohingyas was taken at meeting held on July 29 that was chaired by the Chief Secretary of Delhi.&nbsp;
&nbsp;He added "the law of our country says that Rohingyas will be deported and this jurisdiction lies with the Ministry of Home Affairs." The Modi government has a clear policy that there will be no compromise on national security, he said.
The AAP in return accused to the Modi govt of trying to pin blame on Delhi govt after facing flak. &nbsp;Delhi Deputy Chief Minister said that the Centre was trying to give permanent residence to Rohingyas secretly. He added that the decision taken during July 29 meeting was at the behest of the Centre.&nbsp;
