In response to the ongoing conflict in Iran, India's public sector oil companies—Indian Oil (IOC), Bharat Petroleum (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL)—are set to enforce stricter regulations regarding LPG and PNG connections starting June 1st. The new 'One Household, One Connection' policy will require households to have only one type of gas connection, either LPG or PNG. This regulation aims to curb black-marketing and hoarding of gas cylinders. Consumers are urged to surrender any additional connections they hold, as failure to comply may lead to suspension of gas supply. Despite an increase in PNG connections, the demand for LPG remains robust, prompting concerns about potential price hikes for cooking gas cylinders. The oil companies are preparing to cancel LPG connections for households that have both types of gas connections. The final decision regarding price changes will be clarified on June 1st.
