Government increases commercial LPG allocation to 70 percent. India's Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas announced an additional 20 percent allocation of commercial LPG to states and union territories, bringing total allocation to 70 percent of pre-crisis levels. The move prioritizes steel, automobile, textile, and other labour-intensive industries where piped gas cannot serve as a substitute. This follows an earlier 20 percent allocation increase in March that raised the total to 50 percent. The supply constraints stemmed from global oil and gas disruptions related to the Strait of Hormuz conflict. The government aims to balance household kitchen supplies with industrial demand while supporting sectors critical to economic recovery and employment generation across the nation.
