In a significant move to support industrial workers during an LPG supply crisis, the Gujarat government has distributed 98,883 five-kg LPG cylinders, marking the highest allocation in India. Surat district leads with 26,183 cylinders, followed by Ahmedabad with 19,930 and Kutch with 7,771. This distribution comes as the state modifies its guidelines for bulk non-domestic LPG supply, allowing specific industries, including pharmaceuticals and agriculture, to receive up to 70% of their LPG consumption until March 2026. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has set a total supply limit of 0.2 TMT for these sectors. The new guidelines prioritize industries where LPG is crucial for production, ensuring that those unable to switch to natural gas can continue operations. Furthermore, industrial units must register with the Public Sector Oil Marketing Company to access this facility, although exemptions apply for units where LPG is integral to production.
