Indian specialty glass manufacturer Borosil has temporarily suspended part of its production and reduced output at its Rajasthan facility after disruptions in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) supply linked to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

The company confirmed that operations of its borosilicate glass furnace used for pressware products at its Jaipur plant have been temporarily halted. At the same time, opal glass furnaces at the same site continue operating but at reduced capacity as energy availability remains uncertain.

According to Borosil, the company received official communication from its energy suppliers indicating restrictions in LPG deliveries due to a force majeure situation, triggered by the geopolitical tensions affecting fuel supply chains in the Middle East.

LPG is a critical fuel for high-temperature glass manufacturing processes, particularly for furnaces used in borosilicate and opal glass production. Any interruption in supply can quickly impact furnace operations and production stability.

Borosil stated that it is working closely with oil suppliers and relevant government authorities in India to secure alternative fuel supplies and restore stable production conditions.

“We are currently evaluating the impact arising from the ongoing disruption in LPG supply,” the company said in a statement, adding that it is actively monitoring the situation and will inform stock exchanges of any material developments.
