The differences in LPG prices across states are due to local Value Added Tax (VAT) and freight charges.
‘Sufficient supply, don't panic’
Officials said that the LPG booking interval restrictions, 25 days in urban areas and 45 days in rural areas, are in place to ensure equitable distribution among consumers.
To streamline delivery, a Delivery Authentication Code (DAC) system has been made mandatory, and consumers have been advised to use digital platforms such as IVRS, SMS, WhatsApp, and online portals to book LPG refills.
The officials urged consumers not to panic and assured them that fuel and LPG supplies remain stable and sufficient.
LPG supply for migrant workers doubled
In a major move to assist migrant labourers and vulnerable groups amid global supply concerns sparked by the Middle East war, the Centre has doubled the daily allocation of 5-kg Free Trade LPG (FTL) cylinders, popularly known as 'Chhotu' LPG cylinders—to all states and Union Territories.
According to the government's directive, the enhanced allocation will be strictly reserved for supplying migrant labourers. The additional supply will be calculated based on the average daily supply recorded on March 2-3, and it will sit over and above the existing 20% ceiling prescribed earlier in March.
Historically, securing a regular domestic gas connection has required a valid Proof of Address (POA), making it cumbersome for migrating professionals, students, and labourers. The 5-kg FTL cylinder bypasses these hurdles entirely.
