The Indian government has announced a doubling of the daily quota of 5-kg LPG cylinders for migrant workers to address supply concerns stemming from tensions around the Strait of Hormuz. Unlike the subsidized 14.2-kg cylinders, which cost ₹913, the market-priced 5-kg cylinders are available for ₹549. This decision comes as the government prioritizes cooking gas supplies amidst disruptions in energy supplies due to ongoing conflicts in West Asia. Since March 23, approximately 7.8 lakh 5-kg cylinders have been sold, with more than 1.06 lakh sold on a single day recently. The government has also increased commercial LPG allocation to 70% of pre-crisis levels and conducted over 4,300 raids to combat hoarding and black marketing. Officials emphasize that fuel supplies remain stable and urge citizens to refrain from panic buying, assuring that adequate stocks are available across retail outlets.
