No Change in LPG Refill Booking Timelines Amid Misinformation
The Indian government has clarified that there has been no change in LPG refill booking timelines. Reports of revised waiting periods for different categories of consumers were dismissed as misinformation.
The Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas stated that certain news reports had falsely claimed that refill booking intervals had been altered to 45 days for PMUY connections, 25 days for non-PMUY single-cylinder users, and 35 days for double-cylinder connections.
However, the Ministry confirmed that the existing norms remain unchanged. LPG refill bookings can be made after 25 days in urban areas and 45 days in rural areas, irrespective of the type of connection.
The Ministry urged citizens not to believe or circulate such misinformation, warning that it could lead to unnecessary panic booking of LPG cylinders.
