Amid a shortage of commercial LPG cylinders due to escalating conflict in West Asia, the Delhi government on Saturday announced a regulated distribution policy that caps supply at 20% of the average daily consumption and introduced priority-based allocation for essential services.
The Department of Food Supplies and Consumer Affairs, in a special communication, said the policy was framed in compliance with directions issued by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, and in coordination with the three oil marketing companies (OMCs) – Indian Oil Corporation, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL).
