To avoid bigger shortages, officials are closely tracking things
To keep homes cooking, refineries have boosted local LPG production by up to 30%.
The government has put household needs first with stricter booking rules and anti-hoarding measures.
All refineries are running at maximum capacity right now.
On Tuesday, officials told the Bombay High Court they're closely tracking things to avoid bigger shortages.
Six LPG distributors filed a plea seeking directions to ensure adequate availability of domestic cooking gas cylinders, but judges closed their case after hearing that authorities are already doing everything possible to steady supplies during this global mess.
For now, it's a wait-and-watch situation as India tries to manage with limited imports.
