Delhi limits commercial LPG to 1,800 cylinders daily due to national shortage, prioritizing critical services.

The Delhi government has capped commercial LPG cylinder distribution at around 1,800 per day—20% of average consumption—due to a supply shortage, prioritizing hospitals, schools, railways, and airports, followed by government institutions, restaurants, and other sectors. Allocation is based on past three-month usage, with delivery on a first-in, first-out basis using 19-kg cylinders only. OMCs distribute supplies per market share, and joint enforcement teams monitor for hoarding or black marketing, with penalties under key laws. Institutions are urged to adopt alternatives like electric cooking or piped gas. Daily supply updates and public awareness campaigns aim to prevent panic, with the policy subject to review as conditions change.
