Argentina doubles LPG shipments to India
Change
Argentina shipped 50,000 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to India in the first three months of 2026, more than double the 22,000 tonnes it sent in the same period of 2025.
Why it matters
The emergence of Argentine volumes alters which supply routes Indian buyers can access and tightens the operational window for immediate spot purchases from traditional West Asian suppliers. Logistics planners and procurement teams now face mismatched transit times, port handling and contract terms that complicate short-notice coverage.
Implications
- • Procurement teams at Indian LPG distributors must secure allocations or book shipments from Argentine suppliers before export capacity is claimed by other buyers, or face supply shortfalls.
- • Shipping schedulers at Indian import terminals and tanker operators must reserve longer transit slots and confirm berth availability for South America-origin cargoes, or risk delivery delays.
