Iran War LPG Crisis: After the ceasefire in Iran, the question in everyone’s mind is whether the headache on LPG, PNG, petrol and diesel will end now. That is, will the public now start getting LPG gas cylinders as easily as before? A latest statement has come out from the Government of India regarding this. Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, has said that the government is selling about one lakh cylinders daily.
The ministry said in a press conference, “LPG distributors and petrol pumps have sufficient stock and there is no report of any shortage.” Whereas the supply of domestic LPG remains normal, in which 98% of the bookings are being done online. The ministry said that the supply of commercial LPG gas has been restored to 70 percent. Since March 14, approximately 1 lakh 6 thousand tonnes of LPG has been sold and 6 thousand to 6 thousand 500 tonnes are being sold every day.
