LPG Shortage: There is a shortage of LPG gas for the last several days, due to which the government has also taken a big decision. Under this decision, now the industries running in the states will get LPG within the limit. For which the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has also instructed the states to limit the supply of gas for industrial use.

The government has taken this step with the aim of removing the problems related to the supply of LPG. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has directed states to allocate 70% of non-domestic LPG to other sectors, along with limiting the supply to industrial users. Apart from this, the government has also launched another scheme keeping the reforms in mind, under which additional 10% allocation of LPG will be given to the states that are actively promoting alternative fuels like PNG.

Industrial supplies will be limited
One of the main reasons for giving this instruction is to control industrial consumption. Many sectors like pharma, processing food, steel, glass, ceramics, packaging and chemicals will now be given only 70% of the pre-March 2026 bulk LPG consumption level. Additionally, this supply is capped at 0.2 metric tons per day, effectively limiting the total quantity available to industries. This decision of the government will have a greater impact on those industries which are completely dependent on LPG.

These companies will get LPG first
After this decision of the government, first of all LPG will be given to those factories or companies where natural gas cannot be used. Along with this, companies will have to register with OMCS i.e. oil companies and will have to apply to urban gas distribution companies for PNG connection. After this decision, those states will benefit more which will promote the connection of PNG gas.
