It is reported that the Indian Ministry of Steel is seeking to intervene in steel mills facing liquefied petroleum gas shortages.

Golden Ten Data reported on March 26 that, according to informed sources, India's Ministry of Steel has sought assistance from the Ministry of Petroleum to ensure that steel plants are not affected by a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) shortage. India, the world's second-largest crude steel producer, is currently facing its most severe LPG supply crisis in decades due to the war in Iran. The source stated: "We have communicated with the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas to explore how to take the most effective measures under current conditions. Discussions are still ongoing." Earlier reports indicated that small steel producers in India have issued warnings that due to natural gas shortages, they risk having to halt production.
