Priority Sectors to Benefit
The additional LPG supply will be directed towards sectors that rely heavily on commercial fuel usage. These include restaurants, dhabas, hotels, industrial canteens, and food processing units. Government-run subsidised kitchens and community kitchens will also benefit. Special focus has been given to migrant workers through 5 kg LPG cylinders. Educational institutions and hospitals continue to remain top priority, with nearly half of the total commercial LPG allocation already going to these essential services.

Around 20 states and Union Territories have already issued orders to distribute commercial LPG in line with the Centre’s guidelines. In the remaining regions, public sector oil marketing companies are ensuring smooth supply. In the past week, commercial users across the country have lifted approximately 13,479 metric tonnes of LPG, indicating improving availability and demand balance.
Supply Situation Improving
The government acknowledged that LPG supply remains sensitive due to the prevailing geopolitical situation. However, conditions are gradually improving. Domestic production from refineries has increased, and panic booking by consumers has reduced significantly. A large number of deliveries are now being monitored through the Delivery Authentication Code system, improving transparency and efficiency.
