India is facing a potential LPG supply crisis as tensions escalate in the Middle East following military actions involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. Prime Minister Narendra Modi held urgent meetings with Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to assess the situation and secure India's energy supply. The disruption of shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz has raised serious concerns for India, which imports nearly 62 percent of its LPG requirements.

In a rare high-level meeting in New Delhi, Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi called India a “close friend” and thanked it for being the first to respond after Afghanistan’s recent earthquake. Muttaqi said Kabul seeks “mutual respect, trade, and people-to-people ties” with India.
