India caps bulk commercial LPG allocation at 0.2 thousand metric tonnes/day
Industrial procurement faces bulk LPG capped at 0.2 thousand metric tonnes/day
Change
India capped bulk non-domestic liquified petroleum gas (LPG) at 0.2 thousand metric tonnes per day and extended eligibility for up to 70% of pre-March 2026 consumption to additional industrial sectors, including pharmaceutical, agriculture, uranium, metal, ceramic, foundry and aerosol manufacturers.
Why it matters
Operators can no longer rely on full historical bulk LPG volumes and face a binding daily supply ceiling. Procurement and operations teams must prioritise loads and secure alternate fuel or inventory plans to avoid interrupted production.
Implications
- — Procurement teams at pharmaceutical, agriculture, uranium, metal, ceramic, foundry and aerosol manufacturers — must immediately secure alternative bulk fuel contracts or adjust order quantities — otherwise unfilled LPG allocations will force production cuts or delays.
- — Plant operations and production schedulers at facilities reliant on bulk non-domestic LPG — must re-plan fuel usage and prioritise critical production lines now — otherwise continuous feedstock shortages will cause operational stoppages or reduced output.
