Non domestic supplies from imported LPG is being prioritised to essential non domestic sectors such as Hospitals and Educational institutions. For LPG supply to other non-domestic sectors, a committee of three EDs of OMCs have been constituted to review the representations for LPG supply to restaurants/hotels/other industries, the Ministry added.

India imports about two-third of its liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) with majority of it from the Middle East. Supplies have been affected due to the ongoing US-Israel-Iran war.
