LPG Shortages Reported Across India, Govt Invokes Essential Commodities Act

The Centre has invoked the Essential Commodities Act to guarantee an uninterrupted supply of domestic cooking gas. It has directed oil refineries and petrochemical units to increase production of liquefied petroleum gas to the maximum possible level and to redirect key hydrocarbon streams into the LPG pool. The decision was taken to address potential shortages caused by developments in the Middle East. India consumed 31.3 million tonnes of LPG during the financial year 2024-25. Of this total, only 12.8 million tonnes were produced inside the country.
