India Uniformly Reduces LPG Refill Booking Interval to 25 Days Nationwide
The Indian government has standardized the LPG refill booking interval to 25 days for both urban and rural consumers, reducing the previous 45-day wait for rural areas. Union Minister Suresh Gopi announced this change, citing improved LPG supply and a significant reduction in refill backlogs following earlier restrictions imposed due to supply pressures from the West Asia conflict. The Petroleum Ministry has directed oil marketing companies to implement this uniform booking interval immediately, aiming to ease access ahead of the festive season.
