The Ministry assures there is no risk of an LPG "dry-out" despite the escalating West Asia crisis. Officials confirm robust domestic stocks and steady supply chains.
In the recent inter-ministerial briefing, Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, said “LPG is an issue of concern” as the import shipments pass through the Strait of Hormuz, but of the “25,000 distributors, we see no stock dry-out report”.
Mention the impact of West Asia war on India, she said, “There is no shortage of LNG supplies. There is no shortage of LPG. I am repeatedly appealing to all consumers: those who can shift from LPG to PNG should do so immediately.”
