AAP MP Sanjay Singh seeks discussion on “LPG shortage”, submits 267 notice in Rajya Sabha
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh on Friday (March 13, 2026) submitted a notice of motion under Rule 267 in the Rajya Sabha, seeking to suspend the day’s business to discuss the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) shortage, rising prices of commercial gas and the impact on the hospitality sector.
Citing the “ongoing war and geopolitical tensions in West Asia”, specifically around the Strait of Hormuz, Mr. Singh argued that India’s energy security is facing major disruptions.
In the notice, he wrote, “India is facing serious disruptions in LPG supply due to increasing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Approximately 85-90% of India’s LPG imports pass through this route. India is the world’s second-largest importer of LPG, with an annual consumption of over 31 million metric tonnes, of which about 67% of the demand is met through imports.”
