Uttar Pradesh expands LPG access for working poor. The Ghaziabad LPG Distributors Association has launched 5 kg small cylinders targeting daily wage laborers, small families, and temporary residents who lack standard connections. Eighty-five gas agencies across the district received allocations of 50 cylinders each, with distribution already underway. Users can refill every 15 days by visiting agencies with Aadhaar cards and depositing Rs 1,500, comprising Rs 900 security deposit and Rs 600 for gas cost. This initiative directly addresses energy accessibility gaps for economically vulnerable populations. Simultaneously, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas mandated industrial LPG allocation at 70% of pre-March 2026 consumption levels, with additional allocations tied to Piped Natural Gas infrastructure reforms.
