thebalanced.newsIndia's LPG Demand Declines to 46-50 Lakh Daily as Supply Remains Stable
India's LPG demand has softened with the onset of summer, as daily bookings have declined to 46-50 lakh cylinders from over 50 lakh earlier, reflecting a seasonal dip. Despite disruptions caused by the West Asia conflict, domestic LPG supply remains stable with no shortages reported at distributor levels. The government has prioritized household consumption by reducing commercial supplies, and efforts to boost domestic production have increased output by 40-50%, aiding a gradual return to normalcy in LPG availability nationwide.
