Government Standardizes LPG Refill Booking Interval to 25 Days Nationwide
The central government has directed oil marketing companies to uniformly implement a 25-day LPG refill booking interval for all domestic consumers, eliminating the previous 45-day wait for rural areas. Union Minister Suresh Gopi stated this change follows improved LPG supply and a significant reduction in refill backlogs, which were initially extended due to supply pressures from the West Asia conflict. The Petroleum Ministry issued official instructions for immediate implementation across urban and rural regions.
