Amidst the war in the Middle East, concern has increased among people regarding the availability of LPG (LPG) in the country. In many places, consumers fear that the supply of gas cylinders may get affected and they may face problems in cooking at home. However, the Central Government has made it clear that the supply of domestic LPG is completely safe and the needs of common consumers are being given priority.
The government says that necessary steps have been taken to maintain the availability of domestic LPG, so people do not need to panic.
Booking time extended
Currently, the time between booking LPG cylinders in the country has been increased from 21 days to 25 days. For rural customers this time has been increased to 45 days. Meanwhile, complaints have also come from many places that some gas dealers are delaying in delivering the cylinders or trying to ask for extra money. If despite booking the cylinder, delivery is not received on time or the dealer acts arbitrarily, then the consumer can directly lodge a complaint on the helpline of the gas company.

The government gave this advice
The government has told people that there is no need to book cylinders in a hurry due to rumors of gas shortage. The ministry says that at present there is sufficient stock of LPG available in the country to meet the domestic needs. Also, as a precaution, refinery companies have also increased the production of LPG by about 25%. The government also said that if the supply through the Strait of Hormuz is affected, India has already prepared options to buy crude oil from other countries, so that there is no major impact on the energy supply in the country.
