How Is The LPG Shortage Affecting Households And Businesses?
The shortage has pushed up prices of both domestic and commercial LPG cylinders, affecting daily routines. In Hyderabad, Raj Kumar, a chef at Devi Nashta Point, said cylinders are not available even at Rs 3,000-4,000. Many small food outlets have started shifting to electric stoves and induction tops to continue their work.
In Surat, traders have seen a sudden rise in demand for electric cooking appliances. “There is a severe shortage of stock… as soon as supplies arrive, we sell them to the customers. We are selling at regular prices. We only have one or two pieces now; the shortage remains,” trader Lakshman Singh told ANI.
In Bengaluru, the Bangalore Hotels Association said gas supply has been redirected to essential services like hospitals and schools. RK Gupta, National Vice President of the LPG Association in Bhopal, said bookings will now follow a 25-day gap to prevent hoarding, while maintaining that there is no shortage as claimed by oil companies.
