Commercial LPG supply normal, allocation hiked to 70 pc: Delhi minister Sirsa

NEW DELHI: (Mar 28) Delhi minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Friday said the government has increased commercial LPG allocation to 70 per cent of previous levels, easing concerns among industries and eateries, while asserting that there is no shortage or panic buying in the city.

The revised order, issued by the Delhi government following directives from the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, raises LPG supply by 20 percentage points over the earlier 50 per cent cap.

This translates to a daily availability of about 6,300 cylinders of 19 kg against the normal consumption of 9,000 cylinders, an official statement said.
