NEW DELHI. The government has said that domestic LPG supply remains stable across the country, with no dry-outs reported at distributorships despite disruptions linked to the West Asia crisis. At a briefing in New Delhi, Petroleum Secretary Sujata Sharma highlighted measures such as boosting domestic production, extending booking periods and implementing delivery authentication codes to prevent diversion. The DAC usage has already reached 92 per cent, while commercial LPG supplies have been restored to about 70 per cent. Sales of 5 kg cylinders have also risen, supported by awareness campaigns conducted since early April.

Officials also said that India is closely monitoring developments in the Gulf region to ensure energy security and the safety of Indian nationals. Shipping authorities confirmed safe passage of key crude shipments, though minor incidents involving vessels in the Strait of Hormuz were reported without injuries. The Ministry of External Affairs is coordinating with missions and states, while rural development programmes, including MGNREGA, continue uninterrupted to ensure employment and welfare activities remain on track.
