Government Sets Maximum LPG Production Targets for Refineries, Reliance Assigned Largest Quota
The Indian government has set maximum LPG production targets for 21 public and private refineries and upstream companies to build a domestic supply buffer amid vulnerabilities exposed by the West Asia conflict. Combined production potential is set at 63,810 tonnes daily, over double the expected domestic output for fiscal 2025-26 and covering about 70% of daily consumption. Reliance Industries' older refinery has been assigned the largest quota of 18,000 tonnes per day. These limits will activate during supply constraints to ensure availability and price stability.
