Why it matters Passengers holding Iranian passports who lack long‑term UAE residency will lose a key Dubai connection option, narrowing viable flight routes through Dubai. Travel providers and carriers must rebook affected itineraries or verify eligibility before issuing tickets to avoid operational disruptions.

India invokes Essential Commodities Act to prioritise liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) production Change India invoked the Essential Commodities Act and issued the Natural Gas (Supply Regulation) Order, 2026, imposing a four-tier priority system that directs domestic piped gas, compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles and LPG producers ahead of petrochemical and power plants. Why it matters The order empowers authorities to override existing commercial gas-sale agreements, making previously contracted volumes subject to government reallocation. Lower-priority sectors will face mandatory curtailments, forcing immediate operational changes for facilities dependent on uninterrupted gas supply.
