Govt Orders Oil Refineries to Maximize LPG Output to Bridge Gap

Scaling Up Domestic Energy Security

The Indian government has directed all oil refineries to immediately ramp up LPG production. This move is aimed at tackling the acute shortage that has plagued the domestic market for weeks.

The Import Factor

India currently imports about 60% of its cooking gas requirements. By increasing domestic yield from refineries, the government hopes to stabilize the supply chain and reduce reliance on volatile international shipping routes.
