Government Sets Maximum LPG Production Targets for Refineries to Strengthen Supply
The Indian government has set maximum LPG production targets for 24 refineries and upstream companies to build a domestic supply buffer amid vulnerabilities exposed by recent West Asia conflicts. The combined production potential is 63,810 tonnes per day, over double the expected domestic output for fiscal 2025-26 and about 70% of daily consumption. Reliance Industries' older refinery received the largest quota of 18,000 tonnes daily. These limits will activate during supply constraints to ensure availability and price stability.
