LPG shortage easing: Government measures to improve supply
Although the issue of scarcity of LPG in the minds of people has not completely gone away, the situation is improving gradually. A number of measures have been taken by the government to resolve the issue of the scarcity of LPG. In the urban sector, commercial consumers are being encouraged to use PNG in place of LPG, thus releasing LPG for use in the domestic sector. Moreover, with 94 per cent of bookings being done online, the supply of LPG has become efficient and streamlined.
Cylinder booking issues: New rules and tips for smooth reservations
In order to ensure a constant supply of LPG, the government has made some changes to the booking policy. Now, consumers need to wait for at least 25 days after receiving a cylinder before booking their next cylinder. Any booking made more than 25 days before will not be entertained.
Also, heavy traffic on the mobile app or website may slow down or cause disruptions in the system, making it impossible to proceed with the booking process. If your booking is not going through, first, make sure you are not booking before 25 days of receiving your last cylinder, and then try again after some time.
