From Kochi to Kashmir and Mangaluru to Kolhapur, hotels and restaurants are cutting menus, halting food production and even turning to traditional chulhas to keep kitchens running, as fears of LPG shortages linked to the escalating Iran conflict ripple through India’s hospitality sector. The shortage of commercial LPG cylinders has forced many hotels and restaurants to scale back menu offerings, affecting both operations and revenue. In some establishments, managements are considering discontinuing complimentary breakfast services for room guests as the situation worsens. After analysing LPG consumption across various dishes, several hotel owners have decided to stop preparing certain food items in order to conserve fuel and sustain operations for a few more days. Do you think that India need to befriend Iran?
