Government Clarifies No Changes to LPG Refill Booking Timelines Amid Confusion The Indian government has clarified that there are no changes to the existing LPG refill booking timelines, dismissing reports circulating online that suggested adjustments to the schedule. Officials stated that the information shared is incorrect and misleading, emphasizing that the current system remains unchanged. The ministry of petroleum and natural gas reiterated that the proposed revised intervals—45 days for PMUY connections, 25 days for single non-PMUY connections, and 35 days for double cylinder non-PMUY connections—have no basis in policy. The government assured citizens that adequate LPG supplies are available nationwide and urged them to avoid panic-driven actions. The ministry emphasized that refill bookings continue to follow a uniform structure: 25 days in urban areas and 45 days in rural areas, regardless of the type of connection. It also warned against the spread of misinformation, advising the public to rely only on official sources. Indian Oil Corp Ltd echoed these statements, confirming that there are no changes to the existing timelines and that LPG supplies remain sufficient across the country. Both the government and the oil firm urged citizens to refrain from unnecessary panic and to trust official communications. Fuel supply concerns have intensified amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East, which have raised fears of disruptions to global energy markets. Sujata Sharma, joint secretary in the ministry of petroleum and natural gas, noted that India’s refineries are operating at high capacity with sufficient crude inventories.#indian_government #ministry_of_petroleum_and_natural_gas #sujata_sharma #indian_oil_corp_ltd #piped_natural_gas
