Restoration of commercial LPG supply

Notes

• The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has restored industrial and commercial LPG supply to pre-West Asia crisis levels.
• All sector-specific allocation caps imposed during the crisis peak in early March have been withdrawn.
• Bulk LPG consumers are now allotted 50% of their pre-crisis consumption requirements, following a period of total suspension.
• Restrictions mandating the use of propane and butane exclusively for domestic LPG production have been eased.
• The government previously implemented a 70% supply cap, which included a conditional 10% allocation to 22 States and Union Territories to facilitate the transition to Piped Natural Gas (PNG).
• The government maintains its policy to expand PNG coverage to reduce pressure on LPG supply.
• Consumers who have already transitioned to PNG are required to remain on the network, and others with access will be progressively transitioned in coordination with City Gas Distribution (CGD) entities.
