The Government of India has directed oil refineries to immediately boost LPG production in order to meet rising domestic demand for cooking gas.
According to officials, the move aims to ensure adequate availability of LPG cylinders across households and prevent supply shortages amid increasing consumption.
Refineries have been instructed to prioritize LPG output in their production schedules, with the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas monitoring compliance closely.
This directive comes at a time when demand for LPG has surged, driven by household usage and seasonal consumption patterns, prompting the government to take proactive steps to stabilize supply.
