On the LPG crisis State-owned oil companies are mulling a broader plan to find a solution. State-owned oil companies are planning to supply only 10 kg of LPG per 14.2 kg cylinder used in households. According to industry officials, domestic stocks have depleted and imports have fallen in the wake of the Iran war.
What is the purpose of this plan?
An official said the move is aimed at saving LPG by maintaining gas supply to as many households as possible.
