Overview
- Government and Indian Oil said Monday that nationwide fuel supply is stable, with commercial LPG restored to about 70% of pre-crisis levels.
- OMCs delivered more than 51 lakh domestic cylinders on Saturday, with 95% booked online and Delivery Authentication Codes now used in 90% of drop-offs to prevent diversion.
- Two India‑flagged LPG carriers crossed the Strait of Hormuz safely, and an Iranian LPG cargo began unloading at Mangaluru on April 2, sustaining import flows despite regional risk.
- Delhi barred walk‑in sales from LPG godowns, increased raids and inspections, and widened access to 5‑kg cylinders that can be bought with a valid ID and no address proof.
- Piped gas is being pushed to cut cylinder demand, with about 3.6 lakh new connections activated and 3.9 lakh registrations since March, as states prioritise households and phase back business supply.
