In a significant move, the Government of India has enhanced the allocation of commercial LPG to states up to 50% of pre-crisis levels, effective March 23, 2026.
An additional 20% allocation has been approved, prioritising key sectors such as restaurants, dhabas, hotels, industrial canteens, food processing units, and community kitchens.
States must ensure proper registration of commercial consumers and encourage a transition towards PNG for long-term sustainability.
