IOCL Assures Stable LPG Supply in Mizoram Amid Global Energy Concerns

Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) has assured stable LPG supply in Mizoram despite global energy market challenges linked to the West Asia crisis. Serving around 2.97 lakh households, IOCL maintains daily deliveries of about 8,000 cylinders, consistent with pre-crisis levels, and has increased commercial LPG allocation to nearly 70% of pre-crisis levels to support businesses. Consumers are encouraged to use digital booking methods, and delivery authentication codes have been implemented to prevent malpractices. Coordinated efforts with the state government include raids and monitoring to curb black marketing, with officials urging against panic booking.
