Geopolitical Tensions Disrupt LPG, Natural Gas Supply to India, Impacting Aluminum Production
[SMM Aluminum Express News] Geopolitical tensions in West Asia have disrupted energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz, tightening LPG and natural gas supply to India. With gas diverted to households, according to the Aluminium Extrusion Manufacturers Association of India industrial supply has been cut by 50–80%, severely impacting energy-intensive aluminum extrusion. Around 25 plants have been shut down while ~200 operate at reduced rates, dragging monthly output from ~70,000 mt to ~45,000 mt.
