India, June 26 -- India on Thursday restored commercial LPG supplies to pre-West Asia war levels for hotels, restaurants and other businesses across the country. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, in a statement on Thursday, said it had taken this step after an improvement in the LPG supply situation following disruptions caused by the US-Israel war on Iran, now on hold under a Memorandum of Understanding. The supply of bulk LPG, which was suspended at the onset of the crisis, has also been partially resumed at 50 per cent of pre-crisis consumption levels.

The restrictions were imposed after the West Asia conflict disrupted LPG supplies from the Persian Gulf, which accounts for about 90 per cent of India's cooking gas imports.
