Hyderabad, April 8: The Centre has increased bulk LPG supply to support industries facing fuel shortages. The decision targets sectors such as pharma, food, polymer, steel and glass. As a result, firms may stabilize output and reduce costs.
Under new guidelines, the government will restore 70 percent of bulk LPG supply based on March consumption. It will also cap allocation at 0.2 TMT per day for industrial use. Moreover, authorities will prioritise units where natural gas is not available.
Bulk LPG supply allocation and incentives
In addition, the Centre will reward states that implement PNG reforms. Such states will receive a 10 percent rise in bulk LPG supply. Meanwhile, it has asked all states to notify CBG policies soon to boost compressed biogas use.
Further, industrial units must register with state run Oil Marketing Companies to access extra bulk LPG supply. Officials said the move aims to ease shortages and support critical processes.
Experts say the step can lower production costs while ensuring steady fuel access. However, they note that timely state action will decide the full impact.
