LPG crisis: Delivery cycle for domestic households remains 2.5 days, says Oil Ministry

In response to concerns about the availability of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for domestic households, the Ministry of Petroleum has confirmed that the delivery cycle remains stable at 2.5 days. The government reassured citizens that, despite ongoing geopolitical tensions affecting global supply chains, LPG production has risen by 25%, ensuring that households can still receive at least one cylinder per month. The ministry also emphasized its commitment to prioritizing critical sectors that rely heavily on LPG, such as healthcare and energy. However, the situation has sparked criticism from various political leaders who argue that the government's management of the LPG supply chain needs improvement. They claim that the current measures may not sufficiently address the needs of all consumers, particularly in remote areas. As the nation navigates these challenges, the government is working to balance supply stability with the demands of its citizens and essential services.
