From May 1, significant changes will be implemented for LPG cylinder bookings in India, affecting users of Indane, Bharat Gas, and HP Gas. The booking interval will increase to 25 days for urban users and 45 days for rural users, making it crucial for consumers to plan ahead. Additionally, a Delivery Authentication Code (DAC) will be required for delivery, which will be sent via OTP to the registered mobile number, enhancing security and reducing misuse of subsidized cylinders. For beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, completing Aadhaar-based biometric eKYC is now mandatory to continue receiving benefits. With ongoing global crude oil disruptions, consumers should also be prepared for potential price hikes in LPG cylinders, as recent increases have already been noted. It is essential for users to keep their mobile numbers updated in their LPG accounts to avoid any delivery issues.
