Indian Oil Corporation Says No LPG Shortage In India, Delivers 28 Lakh Cylinders Daily, Urges Consumers To Avoid Panic Booking

New Delhi, April 3: Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) on Friday said that it is delivering around 28 lakh LPG cylinders daily as domestic gas supply across the country remains stable and adequate.

Operations remain steady amid challenges

The state-run oil firm said operations remain steady and consistent with normal levels, even amid evolving geopolitical challenges. IndianOil also reassured consumers that there is no shortage and advised against panic booking or stockpiling.

“IndianOil continues to ensure uninterrupted LPG supply to households across the nation. Delivering around 28 lakh LPG cylinders daily, operations remain steady and consistent with normal levels, even amid evolving geopolitical challenges,” said the leading oil marketing company in a post on X.

Digital bookings and delivery authentication rise

Nearly 87 per cent of LPG bookings are now made through digital platforms such as SMS and IVRS, with deliveries authenticated via DAC OTP to ensure cylinders reach intended customers, the company informed, adding that it is actively addressing customer concerns through official support channels.

It further clarified that 5 kg FTL cylinders are being continuously supplied by Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to migrant labourers against valid ID proof to ensure accessibility and ease of distribution.

Assurance against panic and misinformation

“Adequate arrangements have been made to maintain steady availability, and there is no disruption in supplies. Hence, there is no need for any concern or panic, as the situation is being closely monitored and managed to meet the requirements effectively,” said the oil firm.

“Domestic LPG consumers remain our top priority. Across the country, uninterrupted supply is being ensured through authorised distributors, with strict monitoring to prevent diversion and black marketing. Book your LPG only through official channels and opt for OTP-based delivery for a safe and reliable experience,” IndianOil added.
