Strait of Hormuz reopening July 2026 prioritizes LPG for India

Stranded LPG cargoes to move 1st

The plan is to get stranded LPG cargoes moving first, then slowly restart imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and crude oil.
According to Kpler's Lead Research Analyst for Refining & Modelling, Sumit Ritolia, things should start looking normal after about four weeks once Gulf producers ramp up exports.

This phased approach is meant to restore India's energy supply chains and keep homes running smoothly.
