Restaurants in India feeling the heat as cooking gas supplies run short
Restaurants in India are feeling the heat as cooking gas supplies run short. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), widely used for cooking, isn't reaching many eateries – forcing some to consider temporary closures. India imports more than half the LPG it consumes, most of it from the Middle East. As global energy prices rise, Indian companies have hiked cylinder prices by about 7% for the first time in a year, and supplies are being controlled. India has invoked emergency measures to divert gas to priority areas. Rebecca Bundhun reports from Mumbai.
