LPG supply concerns amid global tensions
The LPG market has also drawn attention amid geopolitical tensions in West Asia that could affect global energy supply routes. According to PTI, AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal alleged that the country is facing a “heavy LPG shortage”, warning that the situation could affect jobs and businesses. He said there is a possibility that nearly one crore people could become unemployed if the power shortage situation worsens.
Industry voices have also flagged concerns about commercial LPG availability affecting restaurants and hotels. Reports from several cities suggest some establishments are exploring alternatives such as electric appliances or reducing menu items to conserve fuel.
Government and distributors respond
However, the government and distributors have said there is no shortage of LPG cylinders in the country. Union Minister Piyush Goyal said authorities are closely monitoring the evolving situation, stating, “There is absolutely no shortage of fuel… They are monitoring the situation very closely,” as quoted by ANI.
Similarly, PN Seth, Executive President of the All India LPG Distributors Federation, said LPG supply remains normal. “There is no shortage, and the supply of commercial and domestic cylinders is going as it used to before. The domestic sector is the top priority,” he told ANI.
Officials said the Centre has invoked the Essential Commodities Act and directed refineries to maximise LPG production to ensure steady supply amid global uncertainties.
