Abstract

The article focuses on the severe glass supply shortage in India caused by energy disruptions 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 shortage has significantly impacted glass manufacturers, particularly in Firozabad, a historic glassmaking hub, forcing many producers to reduce output or halt operations, thereby affecting sectors reliant on glass packaging such as beverages, pharmaceuticals, and food. The disruption has caused rising costs and delayed deliveries for companies serving both domestic and global markets, with no immediate resolution expected due to ongoing geopolitical uncertainties and India's dependence on Middle Eastern fuel imports.
