Govt urges shift to PNG as LPG bookings surge
Financial Express Pune
|March 14, 2026
THE GOVERNMENT ON Friday acknowledged concerns over the availability of cooking gas in parts of the country amid supply disruptions linked to tensions in West Asia and urged households located near city gas networks to shift to piped natural gas (PNG) to ease pressure on LPG supplies.
The appeal came as panic bookings for LPG cylinders surged across the country.
"There are concerns over supplies and availability of cooking gas due to the prevailing geopolitical situation," Sujata Sharma, joint secretary in the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, said at a media briefing, while stressing that no LPG retail distributor in the country has reported a dry-out so far.
