What happened
The Iran war is disrupting LNG supplies, with global output set for its steepest annual decline on record, according to the IEA. The supply squeeze is intensifying competition among importers.
Why it matters
India's reliance on imported energy means tighter LNG supply could raise costs for gas users and add pressure to the import bill. The effect would depend on how the supply disruption affects prices and availability.
Global impact
The news describes a squeeze on global LNG supply and increased competition among importers. Such a squeeze can spread through global markets as buyers compete for available cargoes, potentially lifting gas costs.
