Centre's directive on LPG reserves

Last week, the central government directed state-run fuel retailers to enhance the LPG storage infrastructure and maintain reserves sufficient to meet demand for at least 30 days.

Sujata Sharma, joint secretary in the petroleum ministry, said on Friday, "We are working on the strategic reserves. Oil marketing companies have been asked to work out (a plan) to have LPG reserves for a minimum of 30 days with them, and they are working on it," news agency PTI reported.

Additionally, the government has issued notices to major Indian Oil companies, including Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) to prepare and expand storage beyond their regular capacity.

However, prices of domestic LPG cylinders remain unchanged, having been hiked once since the start of the US-Iran war – a move intended to contain volatility of the situation and shield domestic users from frequent price fluctuations.
