After restoring 20% supply earlier, an additional 10% allocation linked to PNG expansion reforms was announced on March 18. A further 20% allocation cleared on March 21, taking the total commercial LPG supply to 50%
The latest increase prioritises sectors such as restaurants, dhabas, hotels, industrial canteens, food processing units, dairy operations, community kitchens, and subsidised food outlets run by state governments and local bodies, the statement said, adding that provision has also been made for 5 kg cylinders for migrant workers.
Around 20 states and Union Territories have implemented the revised allocation guidelines, while public sector oil marketing companies are supplying commercial LPG in the remaining regions. In the past eight days, about 15,440 tonnes of LPG have been lifted by commercial entities.
Educational institutions and hospitals continue to receive priority, accounting for nearly half of the total commercial LPG allocation.
Despite global uncertainties affecting supply, the government indicated that domestic availability remains under control while efforts continue to transition urban consumers toward PNG.
