LPG Shortage News Today LIVE: India’s LPG production up 25%; Shell and Total Energies declare force majeure

In response to the ongoing LPG shortage in India, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has established a 24/7 control room to manage the situation effectively. This initiative includes collaboration with nodal officers from the Ministries of Information and Broadcasting, and Petroleum and Natural Gas, underscoring the government's commitment to addressing the crisis. Notably, India's LPG production has seen a significant rise of 25%, which is expected to alleviate some of the supply issues. However, the situation has been compounded by Shell and Total Energies declaring force majeure due to disruptions in their operations. This declaration indicates that these companies are unable to fulfill their contractual obligations, further straining the LPG supply chain. The government is closely monitoring the developments and working towards stabilizing the market to ensure that consumers have access to LPG in a timely manner. As the situation evolves, it remains crucial for stakeholders to collaborate and communicate effectively to mitigate the impact of this shortage on households and businesses across the country.
