India hikes commercial LPG allocation to 50%
Hotels and restaurant managers must register with oil companies to get LPG allocation
Change
India raised commercial LPG allocation to 50 percent, effective immediately, with enhanced supplies conditional on commercial establishments registering with oil companies and applying for piped natural gas (PNG) connections.
Why it matters
Commercial allocation of LPG to hotels, restaurants, industrial canteens, food processors, community kitchens and subsidised food outlets is tied to firm-level registration with oil companies and submission of PNG-connection applications. States and Union Territories have been directed to maintain strict vigilance against hoarding and black marketing while processing approvals for city gas networks.
Implications
- — Oil companies' commercial supply teams and LPG distributors must verify customer registration and PNG-application evidence before issuing the enhanced allocation — requests lacking the required documentation will not qualify for the 50% commercial share.
- — Procurement managers at hotels, restaurants, industrial canteens and food-processing units must register with oil companies and file PNG-connection applications immediately — failure to register will block access to the additional LPG allocation.
