LPG Booking News: There was a shortage of crude oil and LPG gas in India amid the Iran-US war. Which is now slowly starting to heal. Meanwhile, now a relief news has emerged for gas consumers. For the past several days, customers were getting the cylinders with great delay even after booking the LPG cylinders. But now the agencies have decided to improve the supply chain. Now consumers will not have to wait too long for the cylinder.
Improvement in delivery process
Recently, Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, told in a press conference that, ‘At present the daily booking is between 46-50 lakhs. Delivery is normal. On April 16, approximately 50 lakh refill cylinders were delivered to the homes of consumers. The figures are gradually moving towards returning to normal. He further said that the onset of summer season is also helping in this, because the need for heating reduces during this time.
supply is normal
He said that domestic LPG supply remains normal and no shortage has been reported at the distributors’ centres. About 98 per cent of the total demand has been met through online booking and certified delivery has increased to more than 90 per cent to prevent illegal supply. Commercial LPG supply has been restored to about 70 percent of pre-crisis levels, supported by targeted measures such as higher allocation of small cylinders for migrant workers and expansion of delivery campaigns by state-owned oil marketing companies.
He also said that since March 23, 5 kg LPG cylinders with a market value of more than Rs 16.41 lakh have been sold to people who do not have domestic cooking gas connections. These include migrant labourers, students, working professionals and small businesses.
