New Delhi, — IndianOil has issued an official assurance that domestic LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) supply continues uninterrupted and steady across the country, despite ongoing geopolitical disruptions affecting global energy markets, particularly tensions in West Asia that have impacted oil and gas transit routes.
The company’s statement comes as rumours and public concern grow over possible household cooking gas shortages in some regions. IndianOil stressed there is no national LPG shortage and deliveries are consistent with normal levels.
📦 Stable Supply at Normal Levels
According to the latest official update, IndianOil is delivering around 28 lakh LPG cylinders daily — the same average volume seen before the recent global unrest began impacting markets. This robust supply reflects the firm’s prioritisation of cooking gas logistics and stock management across India.
The company also urged consumers not to engage in panic booking or hoarding, emphasizing that such behaviour could unnecessarily strain local distribution systems even when overall national supplies are sufficient.
🧭 Measures to Ensure Accurate Distribution
To enhance transparency and ensure cylinders reach the rightful consumers, IndianOil highlighted:
· About 87 % of LPG bookings are now made through wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital platforms such as SMS, IVRS, and online booking systems.
· Deliveries are authenticated using OTP‑based Delivery Authentication Codes (DAC), which help prevent misdelivery and diversion.
· A crackdown on black marketing and hoarding has been underway, with thousands of inspections and actions taken against errant distributors to protect legitimate users.
⚠️ Global Energy Disruptions and Context
The reassurance follows several developments in global energy markets:
· Geopolitical tensions in West Asia — including disruptions around key shipping routes — have compressed LPG imports and led to wider volatility in the crude and gas sectors, raising public worry about fuel availability.
· Prime Minister’s office and government authorities have previously reiterated that oil, petrol, diesel, and LPG stocks remain adequate, with no prolonged shortage projected for household supplies.
· The government recently increased commercial LPG allocation to 70 % of pre‑crisis levels to support industries and mitigate supply stress in non‑household segments.
· India’s oil reserves — including crude and petroleum products — remain at healthy levels, providing a buffer against short‑term supply shocks.
🏠 Priority on Household LPG
IndianOil reiterated that domestic cooking gas supply remains the highest priority in its logistics planning and delivery strategy. Households nationwide are expected to continue receiving regular LPG deliveries without disruption, as infrastructure and supply chains remain closely monitored and managed.
Industry analysts note that while international tensions have affected global energy imports and logistics, India’s diversified sourcing and strategic reserves — along with strong monitoring — have helped insulate household LPG supply from severe shortages.
🧩 Conclusion
