Commercial Gas Shortage Threatens Operations in Peenya and Pune Industrial Areas

A severe shortage of commercial gas cylinders is disrupting operations in major industrial hubs like Peenya and Pune, affecting thousands of small and micro industries and canteen contractors. The shortage has led to potential shutdown threats, financial strain, and risks to worker welfare due to food supply issues. Industry representatives and chambers like MACCIA are urging government intervention to stabilize gas supply and prevent significant economic losses, estimated at Rs 1,000-2,000 crore daily in Pune alone.
