新德里爆發抗議活動，抗議天然氣供應危機
As of late March 2026, New Delhi is facing a severe gas supply crisis due to the ongoing conflict in West Asia.
截至2026年3月底，新德里正因西亞持續的衝突面臨嚴重的天然氣供應危機。
The closure of the critical Strait of Hormuz has disrupted roughly 60% of India's LPG imports, causing significant public distress.
荷莫茲海峽這條關鍵貿易路線的關閉，導致印度約60%的液化石油氣進口中斷，引發了民眾極大的痛苦。
In response, the government has moved to prioritize domestic production and diversify imports from countries like Argentina.
為此，政府已採取行動，優先提升國內產能，並將進口來源多元化至阿根廷等國家。
Furthermore, authorities have mandated that households with access to Piped Natural Gas (PNG) must transition away from LPG cylinders within three months.
此外，當局強制規定，擁有管道天然氣的家庭必須在三個月內停止使用LPG鋼瓶。
While officials claim that supply remains stable, the crisis highlights India’s vulnerability regarding its energy security and maritime trade routes.
儘管官員聲稱供應依然穩定，但這場危機突顯了印度在能源安全和海上貿易路線上的脆弱性。
