In response to the escalating military conflict between Iran and the US, the Delhi government has introduced a significant restriction on the distribution of commercial LPG cylinders.
This new policy, instructed by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, limits the distribution to 20% of the city’s average consumption, ensuring that essential services persist amidst global supply disruptions.
Authorities have strategically prioritized sectors, providing comprehensive allocations to educational institutions, hospitals, and transport hubs to maintain vital operations. As this cap takes effect amid an ongoing global crisis, careful monitoring of LPG distribution remains a priority for officials.
