Restaurants in Bengaluru have warned of a possible shutdown after the Indian government increased the lock-in period for commercial LPG cylinder refills to 25 days. Restaurant associations say the extended waiting period could disrupt kitchen operations and affect daily business.
Industry groups argue that commercial establishments often require more frequent refills due to high consumption. The policy change has raised concerns among restaurant owners who say it may impact food services and operational costs if alternative arrangements are not made.
