Steps taken to avert crisis
India relies on imports for most of its cooking gas, and this crisis has disrupted restaurants and caused panic buying and long queues in several cities.
To keep homes and businesses supplied, refineries are now boosting local LPG output by diverting propane and butane.
A special committee is reallocating supply so essential users don't lose out, and strict rules are in place to stop hoarding.
Plus, the government absorbed ₹74 of a ₹134 per-cylinder adjustment, limiting the consumer increase, so your cylinder won't get much pricier despite global chaos.
