India turns to UAE for extra LPG imports as Saudi Arabia cuts supplies

India will get two additional cargoes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from United Arab Emirate’s Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC) to make up for a shortfall from Saudi Arabia, two government officials said.

India’s oil minister Dharmendra Pradhan earlier in the day tweeted that ADNOC had agreed to give two additional cargos of LPG on an urgent basis to meet higher demand in the upcoming festive season. He said the cargoes will reach India in the next two months.
