Increase in Gas Supply to Hotels

The government has taken a key decision regarding the supply of commercial LPG gas across the country. It has further increased the gas allocation for commercial sectors—such as hotels and restaurants—by another 20%. Consequently, the total supply has reached 50%. An improvement in domestic production has been cited as the primary reason for this decision.

Initially, commercial LPG supplies were curtailed due to disruptions in fuel supply caused by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. These measures were implemented to prevent any potential shortage of gas for domestic consumption. Subsequently, as conditions improved somewhat, supplies were increased in a phased manner, eventually reaching the current level of 50%.

The government has stated that certain conditions also apply to this additional allocation. Commercial establishments are required to register with oil companies and apply for a piped natural gas connection. Furthermore, officials have clarified that the supply of gas for domestic use remains stable and that there is no shortage of cylinders.
