Did you see how the Iran conflict is affecting India's kitchens?

Did you see how the Iran conflict is affecting India's kitchens?

Because the war closed the Strait of Hormuz (vital for India's LPG imports), there are huge gas cylinder shortages. People are waiting weeks, even paying double on the black market! Restaurants are shutting down as commercial supplies got cut 80%, forced to use firewood. It's pushing everyone towards induction cooktops-sales jumped 30x on Amazon! The govt is raiding hoarders and refineries are boosting production, but with minimal reserves, India's really feeling this energy crisis. It's a stark reminder of how global conflicts hit home, literally, in our kitchens. https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/energy/2026/03/23/iran-war-lpg-hormuz-india/

Same here in my city. We switched to induction last week. It's an adjustment but better than nothing.

30x sales jump for induction cooktops? Wow, guess we're all adapting the hard way.

Black market prices are insane. The government really needs to get a grip on this.

It's a tough situation. My family's restaurant might close if this goes on. Firewood just isn't sustainable.
