The Delhi government has imposed a complete ban on the sale of LPG cylinders directly from godowns amid the widening West Asia conflict. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta also announced on Sunday that consumers could purchase 5-kg LPG cylinders from gas agencies by presenting a valid ID without any address verification. The move is aimed at improving access to cooking fuel for migrant workers and temporary residents.“All distributors have been given clear instructions that selling cylinders directly from warehouses is illegal, and strict action will be taken against any such activity. Keeping consumer convenience in mind, the availability of 5-kilogram LPG cylinders has been increased across the city. These small cylinders can now be easily obtained from gas agencies by showing a valid ID, without the need for address verification,” read an update from the Chief Minister’s office.
India remains braced for a severe LPG crisis following the Strait of Hormuz closure and missile strikes that have damaged gas and energy facilities across the Middle East.
