LPG Supply Still A Matter Of Concern, But No Dry Out: Centre

The Indian government has acknowledged ongoing concerns regarding the supply of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) amidst geopolitical tensions in West Asia. Officials confirmed that, despite these worries, no distribution center has reported a complete depletion of stock. However, there has been a notable increase in panic bookings for LPG, which could be attributed to fears surrounding the regional conflict affecting oil and gas supplies. The Centre is monitoring the situation closely to ensure that the supply chain remains intact and that consumers' needs are met. With many households relying on LPG for cooking and heating, maintaining a steady supply is crucial. Authorities are urging citizens not to engage in panic buying, as it may lead to unnecessary shortages and disruptions in distribution.
