Mumbai Food Scene Stalls: Gas Crisis Hits Commercial Kitchens

Hospitality Sector Under Pressure

The gas crisis has taken a heavy toll on Mumbai’s restaurant industry. With commercial cylinder supplies dwindling, some of the city’s most popular eateries are struggling to maintain their daily operations.

Menu Rationalization

In many kitchens, the traditional gas burners are being replaced by limited electric alternatives. This has led to shorter menus, focusing only on items that can be steamed or grilled without heavy gas usage.
