Amidst the crisis arising due to the war between Iran and Israel, the Bombay High Court issued a notice to the Central Government on the petition regarding increasing the supply of LPG cylinders. On Thursday (March 12), the High Court issued notices to the Union Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas and a private company.
The petitioners claimed that despite instructions from the Centre, Nagpur’s ‘Confidence Petroleum India Limited’ has failed to increase the supply of domestic LPG cylinders. In its instructions, the Central Government had asked to give priority to domestic distribution.

Petition through lawyers Shyam Dewani and Sahil Dewani
In the petition filed through lawyers Shyam Dewani and Sahil Dewani, it has been said that due to the Iran war, the supply of crude oil has been disrupted across the world, due to which LPG production has also been disrupted. After this, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas had issued orders to give priority to LPG production and supply for domestic consumers.
It has been said in the petition that no action was taken on the repeated information given to the company to stop LPG export and increase the supply in the domestic market. The petitioners claim that ‘Confidence Petroleum India Limited’ informed them that as part of its export strategy it has to meet the demands of the international market, hence it cannot give priority to the domestic market.
To whom did the High Court issue notices?
Nagpur Bench Justice Anil S. Kilor and Justice Raj D Vacode, while hearing the petition on Thursday, issued notices to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) and Confidence Petroleum India Limited.
