Indian LPG consumers may soon switch suppliers without changing their existing connections, thanks to a proposed interoperability framework by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board.
The plan, inspired by mobile number portability, would allow users to switch between major oil companies like Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum, improving choice and service reliability.
Currently, consumers can only change dealers within the same company.
The move aims to address widespread complaints about refill delays and supply disruptions affecting millions annually.
While a 2014 portability scheme allowed internal switching, legal restrictions prevented cross-company transfers.
The new framework seeks to overcome these barriers through better coordination and network integration.
Public feedback is being collected until mid-October 2025, after which rules will be finalized and a rollout date set.
Los usuarios indios de GLP pronto podrán cambiar de proveedor sin cambiar las conexiones, gracias a un nuevo marco de portabilidad.
