Abstract

The article focuses on the severe disruption in India's glass manufacturing industry caused by energy shortages linked to Middle East conflicts, which have led the Indian government to prioritize liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies for households over factories. This has significantly impacted production in Firozabad, India's historic glassmaking hub, and other regions, causing supply chain issues for sectors relying on glass products such as beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Manufacturers have reduced output, raised prices, and delayed expansion plans amid uncertain global energy markets and ongoing geopolitical tensions. The shortages have also affected related industries and daily life, including food services, contributing to a broader economic slowdown in India’s manufacturing sector. [Extracted from the article]
