India's LPG cylinders are running short. Here's how to cook everything you love using an air fryer, electric kettle, electric steamer, microwave, oven, or sandwich griller.
In March 2026, India is facing its most severe LPG shortage in years. Strait of Hormuz shipping disruptions have pushed cylinder wait times to 25 days in many cities. Induction cooktop sales have surged 30X. Air fryers are sold out in most stores.
