India signed its first structured agreement to import 2.2 million tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from the United States for 2026, signalling an important step toward strengthening energy security. The long-term arrangement aims to diversify supply sources while reducing dependence on Middle Eastern producers.
