India's demand for LPG has grown significantly in recent years. India's LPG consumption increased by 5% from the previous fiscal year (FY2019-2020) to 27.6 million metric tonnes in FY2020-2021. During the projected period, it is anticipated that this tendency would continue and intensify, mostly due to the nation's supportive government measures. There are around 30.5 crore active LPG residential users in India as of April 2022, up from 14.9 crore customers in 2015. The number of home LPG consumers in the nation has significantly increased. Similarly, the number of LPG distributors in India increased from slightly under 9686 in 2010 and 15930 in 2015 to 25269 in April 2022.

Increasing Utilization of LPG in Transportation as an Alternative Fuel to Augment Growth

Auto gas is the most extensively utilized non-blended alternative to traditional oil-based transport fuels like gasoline and diesel in terms of fleet size. In a few countries, the auto gas market is firmly established. Auto gas consumption has increased steadily over the past two decades, reaching a record high of 27.1 million tonnes in 2019 with an increase of 1% over the previous year. Although, demand has recently fallen, partially due to better fuel efficiency and a decline in the fleet of Autogas cars in several significant locations. The trends of different nations differ greatly, with some seeing strong market growth in 2019 while others seeing losses. The COVID-19 calamity is expected to cause a global pandemic in 2020, which will dramatically lower demand for Autogas and other transportation fuels in the short term. These elements are expected to raise demand for this gas during the forecast period.
