The West Asia conflict has begun squeezing fuel supplies in India, and Pune’s hospitality sector is already feeling the heat. Commercial LPG supply to hotels and restaurants in the city has been halted, raising fears of widespread shutdowns across the food industry.

Industry bodies warn that if supplies are not restored within days, thousands of eateries could close temporarily, disrupting daily meals for residents and threatening the livelihoods of thousands of workers dependent on the sector.
