India's sugar, edible oil demand dips amid commercial gas shortage

Demand for sugar and edible oils in India is declining as commercial gas cylinder shortage has forced restaurants to scale back operations, Reuters reported. India's edible oil imports fell nearly 9% in March from the previous ​month, an official from Solvent Extractors' Association of India (SEA) said. "Gas cylinder deliveries haven't happened..even three weeks after booking," a vendor said.
