India Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Production, Operating Efficiency, Demand & Supply, End-User Industries, Sales Channel, Regional Demand, Company Share, Foreign Trade, FY2015-FY2030

The India Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) market reached approximately 32.20 MMTPA in FY2022 and is expected to grow at a steady CAGR of around 4% by FY2030.

Liquefied petroleum gas, commonly known as LPG, is a combustible gas that runs companies and homes all over the world A variety of hydrocarbons, such as butane or propane, make up its composition. LPG is synthesized in oil refineries and also at LPG Extract/ Gas Fractionators. At the refineries, LPG contains C3 and C4 (Propane & Butanes) components from the distillation unit along with Propylene and Butylene from secondary conversion units. Whereas, in the gas fractionators, LPG consists of C3 & C4 saturated components (Propane & Butanes). LPG is stored and transported in pressurized containers, often steel tanks, as a liquid. In addition to being used as a domestic fuel for cooking and heating, LPG has a number of industrial and commercial applications. Since LPG gas is clean, safe, and effective, most industries use it. It has a high calorific value and offers specific temperature control. Other applications of LPG include galvanizing, metal melting, heat treatment, steam generation, etc.

The growing demand for clean cooking fuels in rural, as well as urban households, is expected to give a boost to the country’s LPG market in the forecast period. Support of the government in form of initiatives and subsidies to boost the sales of LPG is contributing to the market growth. Demand from the household sector increased in recent years.
