LPG Shortage Live Updates: Govt sets up panel as LPG crisis hits hotels, restaurants in Mumbai, Bengaluru

The Indian government has taken decisive steps to address a growing Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) shortage impacting hotels and restaurants in major cities like Mumbai and Bengaluru. In light of rising demand and ongoing global energy disruptions exacerbated by the conflict in Iran, the government has established a panel to monitor and manage the LPG supply chain more effectively. These new measures aim to stabilize the supply while preventing hoarding practices that have contributed to the crisis. The situation has prompted concerns among stakeholders in the hospitality sector, who rely heavily on LPG for cooking and other operations. The authorities continue to explore solutions to mitigate the effects of the crisis and ensure a steady supply of LPG to meet the needs of both commercial and residential users across the country.
