States to get 10% more LPG for PNG push
Financial Express Bengaluru
|March 19, 2026
THE CENTRE HAS offered states up to 10% additional commercial LPG allocation if they accelerate the shift to piped natural gas (PNG), as supply pressures persist amid disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and the ongoing West Asia conflict.
The move comes with the government flagging LPG availability as “a cause of concern”, with long queues reported at distributor points even as household supplies remain uninterrupted.
“All states and Union territories have been offered allocation of 10% additional commercial LPG provided they help in expediting the expansion of CGD network,” said Sujata Sharma, joint secretary, ministry of petroleum and natural gas.
