Gujarat's Industry Scorched in Iran-Israel War Flames: 50% Cut in Gas Supply

Due to escalating tensions in the Middle East, Gujarat Gas Limited has decided to cut natural gas supply to industries in the state by up to 50%. The primary cause is Qatar declaring 'force majeure' on its gas supplies, as production and transportation have been disrupted by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime chokepoint. This supply shock directly impacts industrial operations in Gujarat, a major industrial hub in India, highlighting the vulnerability of regional fossil fuel supply chains to geopolitical conflict.
